Hi All,
The RC 1, 2, and 3 of the kernel 3.15 don't boot on my PA6T board with a
Radeon HD 6870 graphics card.

The kernel 3.14 starts without any problems. Has anyone a tip for me,
please?
The line that says "starting cpu hw idx 0... failed" looks a little worrying.
Do you see that on 3.14 as well?
Otherwise bisection is probably your best bet.
cheers
Hi All,
I have found out which patch is responsible for the boot problems. It's

I'm not a programmer but what can I do to solve this boot problem?
