Subject: [patch] x86_64: don't use early_printk() during memory init
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 20:45:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200602242049_MC3-1-B938-400B@compuserve.com> (raw)
printk is working by the time this memory init message prints.
As it stands, output jumps to the top of the screen and prints
this message, then back to normal boot messages, overwriting
a line at the top.
