Message-ID: <20080201184254.174020@gmx.net> Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:42:54 +0100 From: "Gerhard Pircher" <gerhard_pircher@....net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@....ul.ie> Subject: Commit for mm/page_alloc.c breaks boot process on my machine Hi! I'm trying to get the 2.6.24 Linux kernel booting on my AmigaOne machine (it's a desktop PowerPC G4 machine with 1.5GB RAM). I have written the device tree and platform setup files for arch/powerpc, which seem to be working so far. Kernel version 2.6.24-rc2 was booting fine with my patches until the kernel executes the INIT command. But kernel release v2.6.24 dies early during the boot process (even before the radeonfb driver initializes and outputs kernel messages). Bisecting revealed that this commit causes my machine to fail booting: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=44048d700bcbfaf4bcca6e2e0a73d89d01ec0878 (Revert "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs") The machine boots fine, if I revert the patch. But I wonder what side effects this patch may have? Can somebody shed some light on this? Thanks! regards, Gerhard BTW: Please put me on CC: as I'm not subscribed to this list. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
