Typically this means the fault processing is not putting a valid translation into the TLB to satisfy the fault, so we loop forever never making forward progress. I've had to debug something similar to this before, so I'll piece together a debugging patch you can use to get more information. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
