Subject: SGI O2 boot  hang with latest kernels
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:35:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201003271435.17816.randrianasulu@gmail.com> (raw)

I was testing my r5k, 256 Mb ram SGI O2 again after some inactivity, and found 
what latest kernel (from LMO git, up to commit 
9368a0777aa3eaab13dcbd7038041df54885dc32
   MIPS: Fix __vmalloc() etc. on MIPS for non-GPL modules ) compiled with my 
usual kernel toolchain (binutils-2.19.1/gcc 4.3.3) will lock up/hang very 
early, even before  clearing screen.

Git bisect point me at some bootmem changes, last working commit for me is
