The code behaves in exactly the same way with the bit depth set to 32 and without the patch reversion (ie forces a reboot). With the parch reverted there is a flicker of output on the screen before a reboot is forced (it will boot with 16bpp though the colour is a bit iffy) With the patch reverted and 24bpp, it oopses before freezing (with two odd looking boot logos on the screen): [ 1.485628] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 [ 1.553925] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 55ff5504 [ 1.562351] pc = 8c0033a0 [ 1.565402] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e8688 [ 1.573784] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.576833] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.585205] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.588258] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.596641] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.599688] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.608069] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.611117] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.619488] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.622549] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.630927] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.633979] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.642370] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.645421] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.653793] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.656854] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.665226] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.668273] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.676664] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.679715] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.688086] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.691191] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.699557] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.702603] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.710988] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.714036] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.722408] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.725468] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.733837] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.736884] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.745270] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.748314] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.756696] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.759745] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.768111] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.771155] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.779538] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.782584] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.790997] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.794045] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.802452] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.805500] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.813888] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.816937] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.825326] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.828378] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.836753] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.839846] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.848215] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.851263] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.859649] pc = 8c00b9e2 [ 1.862695] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0c1e81ec [ 1.871066] pc = 8c00b9e2 In short all versions of the driver seem to be broken in some way, but it won't boot at all unless the patch is reverted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
