Not really, it's just that mac_fb starts late. Patrick used the kernel from linux-image-3.12-rc7-m68k_3.12~rc7-1~exp1+m68k.1_m68k.deb which unfortunately lacks CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK. This config change makes a known bug look like a new (early) failure. Based on my tests* with a 68030, the failure here appears to be the same futex_init crash that Patrick and others have already reported, only now it's invisible because it always crashes before mac_fb loads. Can CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK be enabled again for Debian multi-platform kernels? The futux_init problem is easily reproduced with 3.12. I'll try the latest release candidate. Finn * mainline 3.12 sources with kernel config from linux-image-3.12-rc7-m68k_3.12~rc7-1~exp1+m68k.1_m68k.deb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
