I saw the "Strange hang on ia64 with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y" thread on lkml: http://marc.info/?t=120288396800001&r=1&w=4 However, my config does not include PRINTK_TIME=y. In fact, hang occurs with ia64 defconfig as well--right after the "Loading...initrd...done" message. 2.6.25-rc2 boots OK. Bisecting the broken-out series appears to indict 'git-sched.patch'. I went ahead and added Ingo's patch, discussed in the "strange hang" thread, even tho' I hadn't enabled printk timestamps. No effect. Anyone else seeing this? Regards, Lee
