Fixed it with this new commit (I'm not posting the patch here as it's not meant for review on this list): http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3cc8ee538f6727d1f6773fff6d8e31bc5522bfeeJust a piece of information: with vanilla 2.6.31 boot from NFS root on my PB11MPCore hangs, with this patch applied, boot succeeds.Now I'm setting up similar dev environment by chance; Cortex-A9 MPcore, slightly old kernel (say .31 or .32), and with smsc911x.c Ethernet driver required [1]. I'm auditing the required patches right now, and very interested in above patch, but it seems that blob got lost these days :-( Do you still have the patch, and would you mind sharing it with me?
It is in mainline already: http://git.kernel.org/linus/492c5d943d6a04b124ba3a719dc746dc36b14cfb -- Catalin
