[parisc-linux] C180 appears to hang booting current kernels

[parisc-linux] C180 appears to hang booting current kernels

[Christian Suder]

Quick question,

I have a C180 running 2.4.19-pa9 just fine. However recent 2.4 kernels
hang, or appear to hang (I'm not the patient type...;-) after the
"branching to kernel entry...." The heartbeat LED slowly blinks two times
every 10 seconds or so, I've been waiting maybe 5 minutes. 

I found some discussion on this back in November, it's not quite clear if
the discussed changes were ever made. 

Any hope ?

	Thx,
	Christian

Just be patient. It takes as long as 30 minutes to work it's way through
some tests. There is a fix for this, but it may take a while to trickle
down to testing and stable users. I'm sure others can answers this in
more depth. I was worried for my C180 for a while, too.

This looks like my bad.

Willy and I worked on a solution for this problem, and I committed the
fix to the linux-2.5 tree.  I have this change also in my local 
linux 2.4 tree, but it does not appear that I committed it to CVS.

I appologize for this and will try to find time to update my local tree,
verify it still works, and then commit this change over the weekend!

Thanks,

- Ryan
