kernel panic with latest kirkwood 3.9 update

[moonman]

Here's the new one for testing guys. I've adjusted a couple of things for both devices.

Moonman,

when we had to update u-boot for kernels >=3.2 I ended up using this

http://people.debian.org/~tbm/u-boot/20 ... u-boot.kwb

as stated in this thread

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3224

there were some issues with the very latest versions of u-boot (ie they missed the MMC stuff somehow). I guess the debian u-boots support both types of sheeva.

Anyhow the 3.9.4-4 kernel does boot on my standard sheevaplug.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

I see this in the kernel messages

thanks for the effort; seems like we're getting there.

Good! Thanks again for testing, replabrobin. Hopefully ThisIsAandomString's results are positive as well.

3.9.4-4 Works for me as well!

Thanks.

[moonman]

Great. I'am committing the changes. Next kernel update will have these.
Thanks for testing. It would've been impossible without the logs you provided.

[replabrobin]

Thanks Moonman more kudos to you

Moonman, the latest 2.9.4-2 linux-kirkwood release package works for my sheevaplug

[moonman]

3.9.4-2 in the repo is identical to 3.9.4-4 that I posted in this thread.Thanks for the heads up.

[ThisIsAandomString]

Hi again.

I just updated too, it works magic

Thanks again!
