I'm going to guess that the startup test fandangos on memory that wasn't set up by the non-present CONFIG_FTRACE. I got into this state by saying 'y' to 'startup test' in make oldconfig, then deciding I didn't want ftrace so I turned that *one* entry off in make menuconfig - which left the startup test dangling. Easy local workaround was to just turn the test off too, so you guys can hash this one out at your leisure... --==_Exmh_1207993317_3280P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFIAIPlcC3lWbTT17ARAoG+AKCbuIc4Q6PmgBrf2ZV+YO+DqBF0LQCgo9Oa j/PRJzTjS3qzod+0POuoP2k= =JMfO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1207993317_3280P--
