For what it is worth, this section contains dump_stack, panic, and printk

Thanks!

Re: elf section .text.unlikely

2011-01-21 Thread kevin diggs
Hi,

One more thing:

The last message printed is:

Driver 'sd' needs updating - please us bus_type methods

The mesh SCSI controller seems to successfully scan the bus. The next
message that a 3.4.6 compiled kernel prints are details about disk sda
(from SCSI disk driver?).

4.3.5 keyboard is dead.

Jog any thoughts?

Thanks!

kevin

Maybe the kernel already panic then serial cannot print the last messages
immediately. So after reset the target you can dump __log_buf from the u-boot
prompt to track this in detail.
