Hi List Every now and then my kernel gets stuck after printing "Calibrating delay loop ..." and I have to press the reset button to recover.
Someone else has experienced this on a 8260 board. This board did not have a RTC and the fix was to add a set_tb(0,0) early in arch/ppc/kernel/time.c/time_init Our board has a RTC but it gets initialized very late(after the Calibrating delay loop stuff). Either one of us can't understand why this would fix the problem and since I can't repeat the problem at will I can't verify if a set_tb(0,0) will fix anything. Can anybody explain why(or why not) a set_tb(0,0) will make a difference? Kernel is linuxppc_dev, 2.4.20 Jocke ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
