Subject: AMD 64 Box is not able to boot with latest -tip

My AMD 64 Box was not able to boot with latest -tip and kernel is
dumping.

Because of hot weather and not proper cooling I cannot debug the problem
so only thing I can tell is:

BAD : cb553adb4e83bc

Good : f0ef03985130287c6c

Thanks,

You realize you left absolutely no usable information in that post, I
hope... not a single bit of detail about the system other than it having
an AMD CPU.

Oops, I have send my configs file and other related info various times
to LKML and Ingo.

Anyhow now I made a git tree for it ;)

You should attach such information to every separate new
bugreport.

that's not very useful for a quick review on lkml. Also, kernel
configs change between kernel versions so that link can go
stale. So it's always useful to attach the very config you saw a
breakage with to the bugreport.

You say that the "kernel dumps" - does this mean you got a
kernel oops during bootup? If possible you should try to capture
the first oops/warning that triggers either via a serial console
or via a digital camera. pause_on_oops=10000 can be useful too
to make sure you capture the first oops in its entirety.
