Re: 64bit kernel not booting with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y

Hi Kyle,


Thanks, this does work like a charm. This is the output now :

Branching to kernel entry point 0x00100000.  If this is the last
message you see, you may need to switch your console.  This is
a common symptom -- search the FAQ and mailing list at parisc-linux.org
