[parisc-linux] Kernel crash with 2.6.0-test4-pa8 on 715/100

Hi there,

I tried to boot 2.6.0-test4-pa8 on my HP 715/100, but it crashed right 
after the message "Freeing unused kernel memory...". I'm using debian 
testing with devfs and gcc-3.3.1.
I think the pb is devfs, so I will try to boot a kernel without it.
Bootlog is attached, Config, System.map is here: 
http://rscholz.bluehash.de/parisc

Greetings,
    Ruediger

I'm seeing the same thing on my 712 without devfs.  Not sure what the
problem is, and I'm having a hard time getting that box back up as it has
a broken root filesystem (damn tar for being linked against libpthread!)

I decoded what's going on a little bit.  We're calling
drivers/char/tty_io.c::init_dev() with a `driver' variable set to
0x00000b00.  Quite what's gone wrong to get this to happen, I'm not sure.

Hmmm... My 712/60 works flawlessly:

jbglaw@hp712-1:~$ uname -a
Linux hp712-1 2.6.0-test4-pa8 #1 Wed Sep 3 19:16:42 CEST 2003 parisc GNU/Linux
jbglaw@hp712-1:~$ uptime
 16:22:22 up 16:58,  1 user,  load average: 0.23, 0.05, 0.02

However, I've not touched the keyboard since the box is standing
somewhere in my cellar and only used by network... Want to see my
.config?

MfG, JBG

Is that libpthread the cause of your broken fs?

Thanks in advance for advise,

no, a 2.4 kernel doesn't have the same problem.

Signal related? What does the problem look like?

i said earlier; tty_open calls init_dev() with a bad `driver' parameter.
my WAG i can't verify because fucking GNU link *ls* against libpthread
is that /dev/console is screwed up.

May I ask you how do you build your .config?
I presume that it is a custom one if you tried devfs. hmm isn't it 
obsolete now?

iirc i encounter the same pb with my b2k. I find a work around by 
accident: removing all kind of console (pdc, serial) make it boot. I 
tried to obtain a patch for a network console for 2.6 but without success :(

Sorry to be not more helpfull but even a toc didn't help to analyse this 
pb :(

Thanks for info,
    Joel
