Hi, I've already encountered a similar problem before, binutils was producing bad data for the initialization of the waitq. This was with binutils 2.11.92.0.10. I worked around the problem by simply moving DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(kswapd_wait); to the beginning of the mm/vmscan.c file, however, you should consider upgrading your toolchain if you're using the same version of binutils I used. references: http://www.spinics.net/lists/mips/msg09771.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/mips/msg09210.html regards, Vivien Chappelier.
