kirkwood openrd: random kernel crashes with git kernel

[Dieter Kiermaier]

Hi all,

hm - it seems to be suspect but I've got random kernel crashes with latest openrd git kernel from:

http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-2.6-openrd.git
(BTW: are there any news on bringing the openrd kernel to mainline?)

It looks like there is something wrong in cpu_idle()???
kernel: Linux version 2.6.31-rc9-ge2e09ec (dieter at dk1-linux) (gcc version 4.2.0 20070413 (prerelease)) #10 PREEMPT Thu Oct 1 08:46:47 CEST 2009

Once I got a backtrace like:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at arch/arm/kernel/process.c:171 cpu_idle+0x74/0xbc()

Many other times the system freezes and I see in the debugger:

: System

I've written yesterday in a email to openrd google group "openrd kernel questions" that I've got problems with enabled EHCI but it looks like
that wasn't the reason because today morning I got the crashes without enabled EHCI!

Have somenone else observed this earlier and how can I go on to track the bug down?

Many thanks,
Dieter
