    SubjectKernel 2.6.23-rc2 git4 & git5
    From
    Date
    This morning I reported an issue which cause a failure of the
    2.6.23-rc2-git4 kernel to boot on my system. The contents of my post
    may be viewed here:

    http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0708.1/1959.html

    After 3 separate builds from "virgin sources" I still had the boot
    failure with the git4 level kernel.

    This afternoon I picked up the git5 patch and it comes up and appears to
    run without problem.

    Same base system. Same hardware. Same build process.

    So even though I have only been building and running "pre-release"
    kernels for a short time I feel confident in saying that something was
    not kosher with the git4 patch - at least when it came to my system.

    (system configuration data is in the original post)

    I would not normally burn the valuable time of others with a rhetorical
    post but I looked at the changes out into the git5 patch and did not
    spot anything that looked like it would have resolved the issue I was
    having and I hate not being able to correlate a cause and effect here.

    Any clues, or did I just get lucky with this one?
