I am not exctly sure about this. The procedure to trigger this hang is very specific: - The console has to be on a 16x550 chip. - u-boot must have already enabled fifo on the chip. - kernel console must be on this serial line. - you need to input characters while uboot is busy uncompressing the kernel. - you must stop inserting characters a while before kernel opens console. I would not expect that many people would even notice the hang. This is why I asked on this list whether anybody can try to input some characters on the console while U-Boot is busy uncompressing the kernel. > I would be more willing to integrate a fix that was specific to > the processor that is causing you the problem.
