Subject: MCA in console_init()
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 03:17:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5e0a1fd80612071347u54f8e8d7lb53f5e933fb9e966@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Folks.

    I am trying to debug an MCA that I hit during kernel bootup. I
have isolated the problem to the while loop in the console_init()
routine called as part of start_kernel(). The IIP obtained from the
MCA Logs point to vgacon_startup(). I will be grateful if someone
could tell me how execution lands up in vgacon_startup() from
console_init() since I quite understand that part of code. Probably, a
pointer to a suitable document will also do.

Thanks & Regards,
Karthik
