I'm seeing a hang during early boot of recent F11-XO images. Right now I have reproduced on freshly-reflashed 20090528 and 20090525, on 2 different XOs. It is not the "Unknown filesystem jffs2" hang or the "Creating devices" hang. It is much earlier, before the kernel has even kicked the framebuffer.
At the point of the hang, the output on screen is: Boot device: /nandflash:....... Loading ramdisk image from nand:\boot\initrd0.img ...
(this screen is from the OpenFirmware boot process, the screen background is still grey, the Linux kernel does not appear to have become alive at all)
It hangs at this point, with no extra output on serial console, and is unresponsive to OFW frame key for interruption.
Is anyone else seeing this? (please don't confuse this with other boot hangs, where the screen contents are different)
Not yet, but its been a couple of weeks since I've tried rawhide on my XO because I've been so busy with other stuff. Do you have a serial console or jtag (which ever one the XO supports) to be able to get the output before the framebuffer initiates?
