Hi Kevin,

This doesn't look like an NPTL problem to me. It appears you have rebuilt the kernel, and your new kernel has a problem booting on the board. I would check the configuration options you have enabled in the kernel, and I would check that xparameters.h (older kernel) or the device-tree (newer kernel) is right for your hardware design.

If you haven't rebuilt the kernel, then I would check your setup.

Hi everyone,

I have a board similar to the ml410, its been running a linux kernel happily
for about a year now, but now the firmware guys want NPTL threading instead
of the linuxthread library.
I recompiled my gcc 4.0.2 and glibc 2.3.6 library with the NPTL support, and
recompiled my kernel with the new tools.

Now my kernel gets stuck at the infamous "Now Booting the Kernel" message.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening, or how to verify that my glibc
and gcc are functional other than trying to compile things with them (I know
this works).

Thanks
Kevin
