The git-block patches in 2.6.23-mm1 freeze my ia64 SN Altix hard on boot. Not good (tm).
Something broke between the git-block patch of Sept 26 in 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 and the git-block patches of Oct 10-11 in 2.6.23-mm1 on my ia64 SN Altix system using sn2_defconfig.
Bisecting 2.6.23-mm1 narrows the problem down to the git-block patches:
git-block.patch git-block-fixup-1.patch git-block-fixup.patch git-block-fixup-fix.patch git-block-borkages.patch git-block-s390-fix.patch
I can boot 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 fine, but I freeze early in boot on 2.6.23-mm1, after the following prints on the console:
McKinley Errata 9 workaround not needed; disabling it SLUB: Genslabs=26, HWalign=128, Order=0-2, MinObjects=8, CPUs=8, Nodes=1024 Dentry cache hash table entries: 1048576 (order: 9, 8388608 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 8, 4194304 bytes) Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024 ACPI: Core revision 20070126 Boot processor id 0x0/0x0 Brought up 8 CPUs Total of 8 processors activated (15564.80 BogoMIPS).
The next output that I -would- have expected, based on successful boots without these patches, but never get, is:
