kernel 2.6.15-rc5-latest doesn't work anymore on mpc8540ads

Hello,

I am just about to update my kernel from 2.6.13-rc7 which is working
fine to linus' 2.6.15-rc5-latest git on my mpc8540ads flavored board.
However, the kernel hangs pretty early after

openpic: exit

any ideas or a hint what's wrong there... before I start to
debug deeper into the code?

Thanks,

Clemens

Hello!

Here is a little update:

I am just about to update my kernel from 2.6.13-rc7 which is working
fine to linus' 2.6.15-rc5-latest git on my mpc8540ads flavored board.
However, the kernel hangs pretty early after

openpic: exit

openpic_init() is called by mpc85xx_ads_init_IRQ in ppc/platforms/85xx

ppc_md.init_IRQ=mpc85xx_ads_init_IRQ in ppc/platforms/85xx

ppc_md.init_IRQ() is called from powerpc/kernel/irq.c

init_IRQ() is  called from init/main.c:start_kernel()

and that seems to work fine. So, it crashes silently somewhere
after that point. I try to build 2.6.15-rc6-latest with kgbd support,
not knowing if it's supposed to work on this platform.

Are there some open issues from the ppc->powerpc migration?

Thanks,

It was a guess :)

possible, can you use git bisect to find what commit may have caused the 
issue?

Hi,
Has the knowledge about this issue advanced?
What I have noticed so far is that the same happens in 2.6.14, therefore the 
problem rose in the transition from 2.6.13.
Would this be related to the IRQ stuff initialization? Any guess?

Hi,
The kernel actually hangs when schedule() is called in rest_init() in main.c
Would someone risk a guess ?
(keeping the walk...) Thanks,
