This is an early report - I'm just checking if anyone else has seen this.

With Linux version v3.6, my PandaBoard (OMAP-based) no longer boots.  The
system appears to fail to initialize the mmc controller.

The kernel log message of interest appears to be this:
[    1.690002] omap_hsmmc omap_hsmmc.0: unable to obtain RX DMA engine channel 6

I can supply full kernel log messages and my .config if needed.

I bisected the code and arrived at the following commit:
-------
commit 26b88520b80695a6fa5fd95b5d97c03f4daf87e0

    mmc: omap_hsmmc: remove private DMA API implementation

    Remove the private DMA API implementation from omap_hsmmc, making it
    use entirely the DMA engine API.

The board works up until this commit.
After this commit, the board hangs during boot after the message:
[    1.852508] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p3...
(and some other USB and network messages, which I presume
are unrelated.)

My questions are these:
Has anyone else had problems with the PandaBoard (or other OMAP) on 3.6?
Are there any related CONFIG_ variables I could change to try alternatives?
What should I try next to debug this?
