[Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>]

Hi,

the current benh tree gives me a kernel panic whit a chrp only config.

Any ideas whats going on here?

It hangs a short time in calibrating delay loop, then it panics a few
times and finally it has a paging request panic loop, like that:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 24842030

The ksymoops output looks like that:

3 warnings issued.  Results may not be reliable.


Any ideas what can cause the problem?
I will update the diffs of the last benh changes at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/BETA/devel/kernel/benh/

The kernel works fine on pmac.
Of course :)
