I was able to revert this bad commit and after a new compiling, the kernel boots without any problems.
That's puzzling. Can you describe the symptoms exactly ? What do you mean by "the kernel doesn't boot" ? Where and how does it stops booting ? This commit only adds a new VDSO call, for getting y2038 compliant time. At the time I implemented it there was no libc using it yet. Is your libc using it ? Where can I find all the elements you are using to boot with QEMU ? Especially the file MintPPC32-X5000.img Can you also share you kernel config Thanks Christophe
