It appears to be related to use of physical memory above the 16GB
barrier. You could try reducing the amount of memory allocated to the
kernel by passing 'mem=1700M' on the kernel command line.
Hi David,
are you sure ?
This is what I see with our own boards (not the reference design board):

The memory at 0000000410000000 is there for both CPUs, yet the crash is
only seen on the board with CN38xx. From a SW perspective, only
difference besides the CPU type is that the working board has more
memory.
That's right, I normally run on boards with 4GB of memory so I was not
seeing it. When I reduce the memory to 2GB, I can see it on most boards.
Sometimes (but not always) I see this:

^^^^^^^^^ Is a warning message indicating that something is not right in
the memory initialization, which is exactly where things are going wrong.
I am retesting on the HEAD and trying to figure out where it is going wrong.
