That suggests a regression in the padlock-aes driver, although I don't see any functional changes there. As a workaround, you can blacklist it by adding "blacklist=padlock-aes" to the kernel command line. I wonder whether the compiler version makes a difference. Does the 3.16 kernel in the wheezy-backports suite behave any differently? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Larkinson's Law: All laws are basically false.
