I'm really confused by this one. It looks to me like the initcalls got all out of whack in their ordering. There's no way in hell that the populate_rootfs() call should be happening right next to cpu initialization: > > <6>[ 0.063442] Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK. If you can send me your vmlinux (not vmlinuz), I'll see how the initcalls are laid out in it.
