My system works fine on a soft reboot, but during a power cycle my system hangs. Last thing I see to print is "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel." If I removde the backup battery for the RTC my system boots just fine. Luckily this is very repeatable on my system. This looks similar to the early rtt-interrupt bug which was fixed about 7 months ago (linux-stable commits 6ce3ee9af1ad697c71766067ffa1a35352dfdcfd and 54f830b7337ed016b6708cf5a2ac297d4cee227d). I confirmed that the kernel I'm using has the relevant fix applied from 7 months ago. Did this fix reintroduce the early rtt-interrupt bug? Let me know if you would like me to test anything or more information.
