Re: Newer kernels on the Jensen (was: [PATCH v2 0/4] Introduce and use absolute_pointer macro)

Hi,

I'll try booting from CDROM with a serial line attached at the weekend,
perhaps that will give us a hint.

[You can call the Alpha a dead architecture and the Jensen and antiquated
machine, but there are features which modern PCs *still* don't have,
like the automatic switch over to the serial line console when no keyboard
is connected. I'm still impressed how well that works.]

Well...whatever that means, but you can call it a hint. Booting from
CD-ROM stopps with:

Anyone an idea what 200000000067a000 may mean in this context?

TIA,
