I'm still seeing my problem (which you linked in your original message).
I tried to look into this a little, but didn't get anywhere. It looks like our
last known-good kernel is 2.6.17.14 (I tested this also).
I suspect the breakage is in 2.6.18-rc1, but there seems to be a critical bug
in this kernel which prevents it from even booting on E450 (it gets as far
as 'Booting the kernel' and just sits there, giving no errors or other
output) so I can't test this. As a result, I am unable to bisect the tree to
find the patch that introduced the bug...
It would be useful if someone could test 2.6.18-rc2 to see if that contains
the bug. If it doesn't, then it must have come in with -rc3 or -rc4 (I can
confirm that it is present in -rc4) which means I can bisect the tree to find
the bad patch. If -rc2 does contain the bug, there's not much we can do
unless someone can give me a working config for 2.6.18-rc1.
Just to be clear, so far we have:
2.6.17.x - GOOD
2.6.18-rc1 - ?
2.6.18-rc2 - ?
2.6.18-rc3 - ?
2.6.18-rc4 - BAD
Unfortunately I can't test these myself, as I won't have access to my machine
now for two weeks. If we can fill in the gaps above by then and figure out
where the problem lies, I can hopefully dedicate some time to tracking this
rather annoying problem down.
Regards,
David.
