Hi,
Has anyone else seen the following problem (or better solved it).
I am testing with a multi-platform kernel binary on both a Broadcom board and ARM TC2 - as such I have: CONFIG_ARCH_BCM=y CONFIG_ARCH_VEXPRESS=y
I am using some debug features and earlyprintk on the BCM board so have: CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y and a arch/arm/include/debug/bcm_kona.S which is included by Kconfig.debug.
If I put earlyprintk on the cmdline for the Broadcom board it all works fine.
If I don't on the Vexpress it hangs at kernel start-up. That should have worked ok, but to make it do so I have to comment out the two putstr lines in decompress_kernel in arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.c (then everything is fine).
Apart from just removing those lines so I no longer get the printout of: "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel." I can't see an obvious way of fixing this.
Has anyone else come across this issue with multi-platform kernels and come up with a solution which keeps the Uncompressing printout - I can't find anything about this on the usual mailing lists.
Thanks, James
