Some MMC and USB work too, and ARM updates as usual. Alas, It sort-of boots but is terminally slow. I see the log with endless repetitions of "irq 18 nobody cared" and some trace, then "disabling irq 18." Unfortunately it lies, after about 20MB of this I decided it had no real intention of disabling irq 18 and tried to stop it. After ten minutes I had to pull the plug and it's still cleaning filesystems. I will dig through the log after it gets back up, but there is clearly a problem in the logic to ignore garbage irq's, or at least stop whining. If there is any similarity between the traces I'll post, but I suspect that it was one of those edge vs. level things by the behaviour. Just a warning in case others are seeing a failure of irq disable to actually work. -- bill davidsen CTO TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with small computers since 1979
