Boot errors

Any chance that these "changes" are documented somewhere? I suspect that more of these undocumented "changes" are causing our boot problems.

Note: changing the target board to the Altera 1C12 Board Support option made it almost, sorta boot. Once. Choosing the Microtronix boards did nothing.

The one time it did sorta boot I set up the eth0 interface and pinged my router, which responded in 0ms. I was hopeful, but the level-3 MTD diagnostic messages were annoying - back to the IDE.

I changed the configuration to eliminate the MTD debug messages (note - that's the only change I made.) After recompiling and uploading, I was dead in the water. And when I say "dead" I mean "not a single message" dead. Very bad.

So I put the debug messages back in at Level-1 and reloaded. Now it booted, but crashed with an "attempt to access past end" message just after announcing the preemptive scheduler.

So I put the debug messages back in at Level-3 (just like when it booted that one, lone time) and reloaded. Now it booted, but crashed with an "attempt to access past end" message just after announcing the preemptive scheduler - same symptom as the Level-1 debug messages.

So, if anyone can provide a list of configuration changes, I think we could sort this out. Short of that, I have to give this release a huge thumbs down. It just doesn't work.

When are some patches due?
