Subject[RFC][Patch 2.6.0-test6] Console hack change
From
Date
With 2.6.0-test6 and spinlock  debugging I get the following debug 
message:

Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at
include/asm/semaphore.h:63
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1

Reason is, that console_init is called before IRQs are enabled.
This patch fixes the situation for me, but I am not sure, if it is the
right approach:

- local_irq_enable();
#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
if (initrd_start && !initrd_below_start_ok &&
initrd_start < min_low_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) {
Does somebody have an idea if this is the proper solution for the debug
message above?

cheers
