This post is a quick note of progress. 1 Have built the kernel with Jonathon's reverting diff applied. 2 From a cold boot it hangs at the same location (I think). I need to investigate further. 3 Initially I forgot to # make install, and (of course) it failed with $ make install. If that warrants doing a fresh build I will do so. 4 I have captured a number of tmux pane tails of the make outputs. I do not think they show anything useful but I will keep them until the problem is found. 5 mutt is set up on this (problem) machine and is being used to send this email. 6 When I have sent this I will get another set of serial console output from the newly installed '#0' kernel. -- aer
