Great tip. It shows the kernel is starting ok and getting stuck just after irqs are enabled. I'm still a bit baffled as to why this only happens with barebox.

I'm thinking maybe some pin/input is initialized wrong and causing infinite interrupts. .. but I think I'm clutching at straws. Again, any more hints greatly appreciated! > Do you have MMU enabled? If yes you could try disabling it No MMU enabled Cheers, Marc _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
