Hi Stephane, Thanks for all the info. I did manage to merge my local perfmon2 tree with the latest torvalds tree (by branching, adding a remote branch of torvalds' tree, and then a merge) and after a config change, it got me a working kernel. However, once I turned on the perfmon code, it no longer boots. I'm sure it isn't perfmon this time, though, because I've seen the same thing happen before with a bare torvalds tree. Something screwy is going on with the filesystem or SCSI. It sort of comes and goes with different config builds with no rhyme or reason, but once it shows up, that image flat out will never boot. So I'll be spending more time tomorrow trying to track that down. I really hope that soon I will be able to actually do some real perfmon2 testing instead of struggling with these other unrelated issues.
