Hi, I just compiled 2.6.36-rc8 and observe a hang on boot. My previous working version was 2.6.34-rc1/gcc 4.4.1, and I checked that gcc isn't at fault by recompiling 2.6.34-rc1 with gcc 4.5.0 (it boots). silo SILO boot: ares36 Allocated 64 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Loaded kernel version 2.6.36 Loading initial ramdisk (4724778 bytes at 0xC800000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)... / PROMLIB: Sun IEEE Boot Prom 'OBP 4.30.4.a 2010/01/06 14:54' PROMLIB: Root node compatible: sun4v Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset Linux version 2.6.36-rc8 (jengelh@ares) (gcc version 4.5.0 20100604 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 160292] (SUSE Linux) ) #3 SMP Fri Oct 15 15:45:00 CEST 2010 bootconsole [earlyprom0] enabled ARCH: SUN4V Ethernet address: 00:14:4f:e1:d1:24 Kernel: Using 4 locked TLB entries for main kernel image.
