Which framebuffer support did you select at kernel level?
What is the output of testsuite/latency while using the VT console?
I'm using the gx1fb framebuffer for the geode. However, since this problem
occurs even when the VT outputting the text is not active, I don't think
it's fb related.
The latency output is just a bunch of numbers. :P
Until those numbers are sane, there is no point in trying anything else though.
Here is some output with the latency -p 500 command, and halfway through it
I put a 100% load on the cpu.
Ok, the testsuite clearly fails on your board, and something in the current setup
prevents any real-time use. .config would help.
== Sampling period: 500 us
== Test mode: periodic user-mode task
warming up...
