So it seems to me that 0034d395f89d9c092bb15adbabdca5283e258b41 introduced the bug that crashes the PowerMac G5There's been some commits in that subsystem, so I tried again; as of 6794862a16ef41f753abd75c03a152836e4c8028, the kernel still crashes when trying to boot my PowerMac G5.If Aneesh is currently unable to look at the problem, I would suggest reverting the commit in question since I don't think it's acceptable that users are unable to boot their machines anymore after a kernel upgrade.
The PowerMac system we have internally was not able to recreate this. Hence we have not been able to make progress on this. At this point, I am not sure what would cause the Machine check with that patch series because we have not changed the VA bits in that patch. -aneesh
