I am running an eMac first generation powerpc (700MHz) and the Gentoo distribution. Kernel 2.6.15 (Gentoo revision 1) is working quite well for me. A few days ago I compiled 2.6.17-rc3 from the vanilla sources ebuild and am having troubles with the pmu code. I can boot successfully when my config has # CONFIG_ADB_PMU is not set but cannot boot if my config has CONFIG_ADB_PMU=3Dy I can post anything you need to help narrow down the problem (ie. kernel configs, boot msgs). Would turning on the kernel debugging give more information on the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated... even if I can just narrow down the problem further so that I can make a very specific bug report. Here is the cpuinfo (as reported under 2.6.17-rc3 without PMU): cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7450, altivec supported clock : 700.000000MHz revision : 0.1 (pvr 8000 0201) bogomips : 49.79 timebase : 24913389 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerMac4,4 motherboard : PowerMac4,4 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 80 (eMac) pmac flags : 00000010 L2 cache : 256K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld Thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I thought this might be a known problem.

Can you edit arch/powerpc/kernel/udbg.c, there is a function called disable_early_printk() which contains a #if 1, turn that into #if 0 and tell me if you get a more useful log after the time_init thing.

Just as an alternative I tried compiling without i2c support, but the kernel locks hard at the exact same point. Compiling without the pmu code is the only way I can get the kernel to boot. There are some kernel messages missing from a kernel compiled with pmu versus a kernel without pmu, namely: On node 0 total pages: 163840 DMA zone: 163840 pages, LIFO batch: 31 and Calibrating delay loop... 49.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=3D99584) but they do not seem to be anything serious.

Can you try editing arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/low_i2c.c, in function pmac_i2c_init(), comment out the call to pmac_i2c_devscan() and tell me if that makes a difference.

I am typing this email booted under it. The kernel messages were printed a bit strangely though. There was no scrolling or clearing of the screen. The kernel messages would start at the top and overwrite old messages, with the cursor jumping back to the top of the screen every so often.

No, it should be the same regardless of the kernel > Is this kernel fairly safe/stable to use? What can be done next? Well, I need to figure out what's going on with the i2c stuff... there is a chip that hangs off the PMU and that says something like "do that at boot"... but when I do it, it causes the crash you are seeing. So either I'm not doing what it tells me to do properly or I should just blacklist this machine (Apple doesn't execute the platform functions from the device-tree on older machines I think). I'm investigating, will come back to you. Ben. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
