As someone who *has* been bitten by this bug - by all means. I'd like to emphasize one more point - we were able to debug it only because old kernel at least displayed debug messages. Current kernel deadlocks absolutely dead (pun intended). No output to console, no indication what happens. I consider this regression. If at all possible, we should make sure that console output is available as early as possible. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | ||||||||||||
