After a sleep, I build up a clean 2.6.5-rc2-mm1, removed the two
initramfs-* from the broken-out patches, and problem looks *quite* the same.
I managed to start init, but it fails somewhere in running scripts in
rcS.d. I have :
README S30checkfs.sh S40networking
S01devfsd S30etc-setserial S41portmap
S02mountvirtfs S30procps.sh S45mountnfs.sh
S05bootlogd S35devpts.sh S46setserial
S05keymap.sh S35mountall.sh S48console-screen.sh
S09scsitools-pre.sh S35mountkernfs S50hwclock.sh
S10checkroot.sh S38pppd-dns S51ntpdate
S18hwclockfirst.sh S39dns-clean S55bootmisc.sh
S20dns-clean S39ifupdown S55urandom
S20module-init-tools S39pppstatus-clean S70nviboot
S20modutils S40hostname.sh S70xfree86-common
S22scsitools.sh S40hotplug S75sudo
I see *sometimes* the first devfsd message but almost nothing else. I
think I also manage to partially initialize usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb.
It looks like due to an asynchronuous (irq) event, something deadlocks
the machine.
