This is reproduceable and it happens every time. IMHO, I also suspect this could be caused by some obscure timing issues, as the kernel is booting up from an FPGA-prototyped SoC, the same Linux image was running fine on a previous build of FPGA-prototyped SoC, but it's coming across this /init failed problem repeatedly on the currently running newly built bit file. -- 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/
