About half the time, the board will boot up correctly. The other half of the time, I'll get segfaults in various parts of the init process. I've also noticed that if I remove CONFIG_HIGHMEM from my configuration, I am able to boot consistently without running into this problem. Is there anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance, -Steve
