Hi,

i'm currently checking in LKML why my Dell 830 Laptop is not booting at all
with 2.6.33-rc1 - and i found your thread:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/18/494

I also use a setup with tickless & hrtimers enabled - but on a x86.

Same behaviour as on your m68knommu box: Just nothing to see ...

Regards,
Oliver

I tried to dig a little deeper:

After disabling

- TICKLESS
- HRTIMER
- HPET
- SMP

step by step I did not get any improvement on my Laptop :-(

So it's probably not a timer issue on my box.

The latest net-2.6 of Dave Miller is still running well ...

Oliver

Sorry for always answering myself. But to get this issue closed for the readers.

This problem tracked down by Michael Guntsche was also my problem:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/19/124

By reverting ("kbuild: fix bzImage build for x86")

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=4a2ff67c88211026afcbdbc190c13f705dae1b59

i was able to boot my first 2.6.33-rc1 ...

I'm running a Debian stable/testing here.

Tnx Michael!

Best regards,
Oliver
