Subject: Possible boot race (seen on MX35)

Hi,

While testing 2.6.30-rc4 on i.MX35 (with mxc-master ontop of the vanilla
-rc4) I have seen the following oops. As it went away by booting the
board again and didn't show up0 again even after several boots, I assume
it could be a race coming from the recent fast boot activities? Does
anyone have an idea?

After the oops, the board continues booting as usual.

rsc
