I have been getting this on my linux-next boot tests for a while as well. > Was the hang you saw before applying this patch at the same place / for > the same reason? I get the same hangs with and without the patch. Paulus bisected it (again) to the commit below and reverting that commit fixes the problem. > OK, this gets even murkier.

I assume hcv_vio. I also tested using "init=/bin/bash" as a kernel command line option and the console worked while I was running bash, but everything was very sluggish. Then when I did "exec /sbin/init" the console hung completely - sysrq (^O) didn't even work any more (it did while I was running bash). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell s...@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
