Kernel panics too. This doesn't make much sense since your bisect indicated that this was the change that introduced the boot failure. Therefore, it should be the case that reverting it, as you did here, should make your system boot once more. But that did not happen. Something must have went wrong with the GIT bisect or you didn't understand my directions correctly, or something.... I don't have the patience to go through that whole sequence with you again and then wait until the next weekend when you can try the tests again. So I'm going to try and get one of my systems working here that use that controller and try to reproduce it myself. :-/ -- 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
