Hey Nicolas, Over the last few days I've been playing with recent kernels on a BeagleBoard xM. So far I've gotten Linus' v2.6.37 kernel booting, as well as the android-2.6.37 git tree booting as well. However, when I try to boot the latest linaro 2.6.37 git tree, I just get:
Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
And nothing else. I've tried enabling early printk, but still nothing.
I'm working on bisecting down what broke since 2.6.37, but if you have any hints, I'd appreciate it!
Just a small update before I head to bed: I bisected it down and it looks like 24251d487c726042855144a1b00aec54df1ca8cf (sched_clock: allow init_sched_clock() to be called early) is the culprit. I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow to see whats going on. Reverting it against the linaro-2.6.37 head does resolve the issue.
OK, I think I know what's going on then. Will have a look.
Nicolas
