Hi All,

I compiled the latest git kernel today. Unfortunately my Varisys Cyrus 
Plus board still doesn't boot with the latest git kernel.

After that I patched the kernel source code with the spinlock patch and 
compiled the kernel again. With the spinlock patch, the latest git 
kernel boots without any problems.

Please find attached the spinlock patch.

Cheers,
Christian

Can you remove the patch, and then build your kernel with
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.

cheers

Hi Michael,

Success! :-)

I disabled PREEMPT in the kernel config and I removed the spinlock patch 
today. After that I compiled the RC1 again. With 'CONFIG_PREEMPT=n' and 
without the spinlock patch, the RC1 boots on my Qoriq P5020 PowerPC 
board without any problems.

Many thanks for your help. :-)

Cheers,
Christian
