I narrowed it down to 2.6.28-git2(Boots) while 2.6.28-git4(fails to boot). I could not boot test 2.6.28-git3 as i ran into kernel compilation issues.
Here is the error message i got when i tried compiling 2.6.28-git3.
LD vmlinux.o ld: dynreloc miscount for kernel/built-in.o, section .opd ld: can not edit opd Bad value
I think the above one was some tool chain related issue.
I don't know how to git bisect using these two releases (2.6.28-git2/2.6.28-git4). I guess that is not possible since there are no commit tags for these releases. But i could be wrong.
Is there anything else that i could try out to find a solution for this ? The machine in question is a Power Mac G5 running Ubuntu Hardy with a PPC970, altivec supported CPU(2).
For the record i can still recreate this issue with 2.6.29-rc8-git6.
Thanks -Sachin
