[regression] 2.6.39-rc[1-3] fail to boot on G5 PowerMac
I'm unable to boot any post-2.6.38 kernel on my G5 (PowerMac7,2 with dual 1.8GHz processors). Basically the kernel hangs at varying points before /sbin/init is started, sometimes before and sometimes after the framebuffer has taken over the console. There are no visible errors on the console, only a hang. Sorry, got no serial console set up yet. My 2.6.39-rc3 .config is attached below. Finally I tried using g5_defconfig with 2.6.39-rc3. First boot it did get to /sbin/init, but udev init took much longer than normal and threw errors. After a warm reboot the same kernel hung as usual, this time before framebuffer init. 2.6.38 works just fine. /Mikael # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # CONFIG_PPC64=y # # Processor support # CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64=y # CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64 is not set CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S=y CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY=y CONFIG_POWER4=y # CONFIG_TUNE_CELL is not set CONFIG_PPC_FPU=y CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y # CONFIG_VSX is not set CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU=y CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64=y CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES=y CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_SMP=y CONFIG_NR_CPUS=2 CONFIG_64BIT=y CONFIG_WORD_SIZE=64 CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT=y CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS=y CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA=y CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK=y CONFIG_NR_IRQS=256 CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ILOG2_U32=y CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ILOG2_U64=y CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT=y CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT=y CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE=y CONFIG_ARCH_NO_VIRT_TO_BUS=y CONFIG_PPC=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y CONFIG_COMPAT=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT=y CONFIG_SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER=y CONFIG_ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC=y CONFIG_PPC_OF=y # CONFIG_PPC_UDBG_16550 is not set CONFIG_GENERIC_TBSYNC=y CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH=y CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=y # CONFIG_DEFAULT_UIMAGE is not set CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE=y CONFIG_ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE=y # CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE is not set # CONFIG_PPC_DCR_MMIO is not set # CONFIG_PPC_OF_PLATFORM_PCI is not set CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST=/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=y CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_WORK=y # # General setup # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT=32 CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE= CONFIG_LOCALVERSION= # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y # CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE is not set # CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT is not set # CONFIG_FHANDLE is not set # CONFIG_TASKSTATS is not set # CONFIG_AUDIT is not set CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y # # IRQ subsystem # CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ=y CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW=y CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL=y # CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is not set # # RCU Subsystem # CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y # CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set # CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=64 # CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT is not set # CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is not set # CONFIG_TREE_RCU_TRACE is not set # CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=17 # CONFIG_NAMESPACES is not set # CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP is not set # CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set # CONFIG_RELAY is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE= CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y # CONFIG_RD_BZIP2 is not set # CONFIG_RD_LZMA is not set # CONFIG_RD_XZ is not set # CONFIG_RD_LZO is not set CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_ANON_INODES=y CONFIG_EXPERT=y CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL=y CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is not set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_PRINTK=y CONFIG_BUG=y CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y CONFIG_BASE_FULL=y CONFIG_FUTEX=y CONFIG_EPOLL=y CONFIG_SIGNALFD=y # CONFIG_TIMERFD is not set # CONFIG_EVENTFD is not set CONFIG_SHMEM=y # CONFIG_AIO is not set CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_EVENTS=y # # Kernel Performance Events And Counters # # CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set # CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS is not set # CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is not set CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y # CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is not set # CONFIG_SLAB is not set CONFIG_SLUB=y # CONFIG_SLOB is not set # CONFIG_PROFILING is not set CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y # CONFIG_KPROBES is not set CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y CONFIG_HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS=y CONFIG_HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT=y CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES=y CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES=y CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK=y CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_ATTRS=y CONFIG_USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS=y CONFIG_HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API=y CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG=y # # GCOV-based kernel profiling # # CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT is not set CONFIG_SLABINFO=y CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD is not set CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y # CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y # CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL is not set CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE=y CONFIG_BLOCK=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG is

After a warm reboot the same kernel hung as usual, this time before framebuffer init. 2.6.38 works just fine. Hrm, that must be new, I remember testing something around -rc1 on a similar machine and it worked fine. I'll see if I can find something out. Thanks !

Re: [regression] 2.6.39-rc[1-3] fail to boot on G5 PowerMac
Finally I tried using g5_defconfig with 2.6.39-rc3. First boot it did get to /sbin/init, but udev init took much longer than normal and threw errors. After a warm reboot the same kernel hung as usual, this time before framebuffer init. 2.6.38 works just fine. Hrm, that must be new, I remember testing something around -rc1 on a similar machine and it worked fine. I'll see if I can find something out. Ok so on a PowerMac7,3 here (dual 2.5Ghz and mostly same HW or at least very similar) I can't reproduce your problem with a g5_defconfig. Your config doesn't work well for me (I don't do modules, I netboot), but after adding a few things to it, it seems to work fine as well. I added radeonfb and the radeon DRM (not KMS) and I added eventfd, timerfd and input events. So I'm afraid I'm going to need you to bisect that one to find out what exact change caused the breakage for you.
