And that you are using a flavour of gcc-3.3? If so, I > guess we'll need to only enable it for gcc-3.4 and later. Yea ill try it right now. Ill get back to you in about half hour, probably less. Would you like me to send you a complied kernel or some files that my compiler has generated if its still crashy? I remember reading somewhere on lkml about another problem that hung RIGHT on boot and it was related to GCC producing an invalid instruction for that particular processor. This smells of badly generated code.
