From 7e862d7e7d118e3becc5b495af10ca076f087180 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:38:09 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Reword the "returning from prom_init" message We get way too many bug reports that say "the kernel is hung in prom_init", which stems from the fact that the last piece of output people see is "returning from prom_init". The kernel is almost never hung in prom_init(), it's just that it's crashed somewhere after prom_init() but prior to the console coming up. The existing message should give a clue to that, ie. "returning from" indicates that prom_init() has finished, but it doesn't seem to work. Let's try something different. This prints: Quiescing Open Firmware ... Booting Linux via __start() ... Which hopefully makes it clear that prom_init() is not the problem, and although __start() probably isn't either, it's at least the right place to begin looking.
