RFC: adding post build comments to kernels

2008-04-15 Thread Leisner, Martin
I'm a big proponent of marking kernels with their characteristics during development -- instead of trying to coordinate multiple pieces of information and hope you get it right (I don't like to try) I've been lobbying for /proc/config for a decade (that's one of the first things I enable when I'm

7448/2.6.20 problems (double boots or hangs)

My taiga board is now dead -- on our development board (with a taiga kernel and a custom modified dts) we see either 1) it hangs at the same point ("PID has table entries") or 2) it boots but it seems to restart the boot process after the "PID hash table entries line" This was never a problem

I asked this on linuxppc-embedded a week ago (I didn't even know this list existed until last week -- another reason to get rid of linuxpcc-embedded). Has anyone gotten NAP/DFS to reliably work on a 7448? I'm seeing strange problems with peripherals...(using a ram disk works fine). marty ___
