Not much is left from these changes if one wants to stay within "reasonable and compilable". :-) Anyway, even after this compiles my Nautilus boxes still do not boot nor show any inclinations to inform why they are unhappy.
At the very bottom of arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c one can find the following:
static int alpha_panic_event(struct notifier_block *this, unsigned long event, void *ptr) { #if 1 /* FIXME FIXME FIXME */ /* If we are using SRM and serial console, just hard halt here. */ if (alpha_using_srm && srmcons_output) __halt(); #endif return NOTIFY_DONE; }
After I changed "#if 1" to "#if 0" results were that most of the time, although not always, after aboot loader messages I was sooner or later quietly back at SRM prompt and yes - "srmcons" was given in boot flags. On some occasions an attempt to boot would simply lock up. To be sure this was happening both with CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS set and not set.
Anybody with some ideas where I should really look?
