Subject: Debugging startup/frame buffer problem in 2.6.18
Hello,
I'm proceeding to debug the frame buffer problem I mentioned here, http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/5/22, I've added printk's and modified *_console_sem (see <Console output> & <Modifications> below) but I end up blind as debug output eventually stops. I then changed my kernel command line so it outputs to two consoles:
/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro splash initcall_debug console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 loglevel=7
Still no output after trying to acquire the console sem. Anyway at this point it looks like I need to debug at a lower level. I was thinking of writing directly to the serial port or maybe there is a better choice?
Thanks,
Wink Saville
