I'm afraid that I have nothing further to suggest, and so I'm shelving the patches. ?That means this problem will remain unresolved in future kernels.I had the tester restart the reboot-loop, and so far it's done ~1200 runs with no problem. I'm thinking now that either I hosed something up with the build initially, or else the tester didn't flash it correctly. 1200 runs isn't enough to be conclusive, but it's a lot better than 88. I'll let you know when we have something more definitive.I'd just like to keep this issue hot so it doesn't get forgotten about. Are we at a conclusive point on this?Today is decision day. Do we go with these two patches or not?
Right, I've had enough of being patient and trying to get responses. I will not be merging these fixes for 2.6.33. What's another three months or so when it's already taken nine months to get this far already?
