Netconsole calls eth_halt() before giving control to another operating system. But the state machine of netconsole don't take it into account. Thus, netconsole calls network functions of an halted network device, making the whole system freeze. Rather than modifying the state machine of netconsole, we just unregister the current network device before booting. It does work because nc_send_packet() verifies that the current network device is not null. Signed-off-by: Frédéric Leroy <fredo@starox.org> --- Sorry, I was dumb. I don't know why I removed call to eth_halt(). eth_unregister() don't halt the device. Changes in v2: don't remove the call to eth_halt() common/cmd_bootm.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
