Re: success 2.4.0-test8 with latest bk

On  13 Sep, this message from Benjamin Herrenschmidt echoed through cyberspace:

Update: After a recompilation with today's updates, the latest bk kernel
boots again for me.

That's not the first time I notice this strange behaviour. I meant, this
happened to me randomly with various bk kernels for monthes. The problem
usually disappeared by itself after either recompiling the entire kernel,
or changing a few unrelated lines of code and then reompiling. That's
weird, I really don't know what can be causing that.

Same for me, except that for a few weeks now I'm basically stuck in a
non-booting mood. One out of roughly 20 tries boots indeed; all the
other stop in various places in init/main.c. Not even going into xmon...

Since it doesn't seem to be a reproducible crash in one specific place,
its rather hard to isolate the problem. I feel like chasing ghosts...
Anybody got Ghostbusters' phone?
