Sigh. > Not sure. Perhaps platform_i386/platform_x86_64 would be correct. > Can the x86 maintainers please advise? Yup. That's correct @Sam: I just checked, that your machine has a serial port. That's a good start :) Do you have a second computer around with a serial port ? If yes, then please add the following to the kernel command line: earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 apic=debug and connect the serial ports with a null modem cable. Fire up a terminal program on the second machine and capture the output. Thanks, tglx
