This past weekend, I updated my RM7035C-based board to 2.6.29-rc2, and it now panics on boot. It ran fine on 2.6.29-rc1. My board is a PMC-Sierra Xiao Hu thin-client board (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7854). This board is not currently supported in the mainline kernel, although I am slowly trying to clean up the code to submit it for inclusion. This board is based on the ITE 8172 eval board, which was supported in kernels up to and including 2.6.18. The Xiao Hu board also serves as the base of the Linksys NSS4000 NAS device. My code was originally based on the NSS4000 2.6.18-based BSP available on the Linksys website, but has been stripped down and slightly cleaned up. After running a git bisect, I found the panic was introduced in commit a29b1ad4f45ce0db1d6ece289f334fe9528ae47b, MIPS: Avoid destructive invalidation on partial cachelines. Reversing the patch on 2.6.29-rc2 clears up the problem. I'm not quite sure how to proceed with this, or if there's a patch required to arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c. Any insights would be appreciated. I have included the output of my boot up to the point of the panic. I have also attached the start of my config, hopefully including all relevant parts. I thank you for any assistance I receive!
