@Bryan.... is there any chance you can try specifically your SD Card that fails in Ming Lei's new board? There are a lot of possible variables like x-loader, U-Boot and kernel version, even maybe rootfs actions that can be eliminated as the sole cause of the problem if that same card works on his device.

Then various behaviors can be seen: the UI can freeze, shell commands be unavailable. The systems works well again after a reboot. 2) By doing a native build of a kernel package (with file-system on SD card, and kernel sources on an NFS mount): After 15mins to 1h30, a "compiler error: bus error" triggers and the build stops (and the platform hangs). This issue cannot be reproduced if using mem=460M@0x80000000 mem=256M@0xA000000. This issue cannot be reproduced with highmen deactivated from the kernel config. This issue can be reproduced with 'nosmp' in kernel command line. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
