Hi Tom,
Your patch (ChangeSet@1.1557.41.25) breaks the 43p140 and Carolina, and
probably quite a few other RS/6000 based PRePs. I was a bit surprised
to see it 2.6.3.

Can we revert this until there is a working version, please? I don't
really know enough about this stuff to fix it myself, unfortunately,
although I'm working through the code to see how it works.
Cheers,
Leigh.

Yup, Leigh, we have at least a week I suppose before 2.6.4 goes final, so
we can probably fix the problem rather than reverting the cleanup.
Can you tell us more about what's going on ?

Okay, great. I have to go out now but I'll narrow down the exact function
that's hanging when I get back.

Sorry! It hangs during boot, before any output on the serial console. I
got as far as working out that it hangs somewhere in
arch/ppc/kernel/time.c:time_init() (or one of the called functions).
I can do some more narrowing down if it helps.

Er.. Didn't we talk about this awhile ago, and get a different version
of this patch working back in 2.4? The problem was that we couldn't use
todc_calibrate_decr we had to still grab the value from the residual
data. And I thought I had kept that logic still..

Just a quick update on this. Tom has a patch that I've tested that
makes it work again. I very much hope it will be submitted shortly.
Thanks all for your help.
Leigh.
