Hi! > Two current [1] and three previous [2] systems locked during boot > because the cursor flash timer was set using an ops->cur_blink_jiffies > value of 0. Previous patches attempted to solve the problem by moving > variable initialization earlier in the setup sequence [2]. > > Use the normal cursor blink default interval of 200 ms if > ops->cur_blink_jiffies is not in the range specified in commit > bd63364caa8d.
