Subject: 2.6.24-rc1 freezes on powerbook at first boot stage


Hi all,

I have compiled new 2.6.24-rc1 on my powerbook:

processor : 0
cpu : 7447A, altivec supported
clock : 833.333000MHz
revision : 0.2 (pvr 8003 0102)
bogomips : 36.32
timebase : 18432000
platform : PowerMac
machine : PowerBook5,6
motherboard : PowerBook5,6 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15")
pmac flags : 0000001b
L2 cache : 512K unified
pmac-generation : NewWorld

The kernel is loaded from firmware but freezes at the moment to load
the radeon framebuffer. I can't get any debug info (don't know
how?).

Please find attached config and Cc me, as I am not subscribed.

Thanks
Elimar

Does 2.6.23 (or any earlier kernel) work?

The powerbook runs Linux since 2.6.12. The config is generated
always by make oldconfig and checking new options for meaningful
use. If I have time, I test rc versions.

Thanks for cooperation :)

There is a lot to do, but it seems to be a big, big code change in

the size of patches. And the rc's don't seem to be frozend versions.
A lot of new code comes in....
Let me know whether a complete dmesg is needed.

Thanks

[FWIW, my powerbook worked with -rc1]

Those error messages are unrelated. My b43 works fine, even with a
multi-MAC patch.

This has been fixed.

What is the problem? Why is this on wireless? It'd help if you'd make
one message per problem and post it to the correct mailing lists.
