Screen goes blank, the leds stay at state 0x55 (set right before calling start_kernel()). But this gave me a feeling of deja-vu... (https://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=117175646524933 - it broke after introducing discontinuous memory support). Digging a bit deeper it turns out that the proposed patch from Roman (https://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=117184910524555&w=2) that fixed my problem never made it into the tree. Since then there have been more changes to arch/m68k/kernel/mm/motorola.c so that patch probably needs some changing (and testing on other platforms). Kind regards, Kars.
