Description Nilshar 2007-02-19 05:57:35 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.6.20-rc2
Distribution: Debian Sarge
Hardware Environment: Dell PowerEdge 850
Software Environment: 
Problem Description: 
I had a hang just after "Freeing unused kernel memory" where INIT is supposed to
start.
This does not happen with CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y but only with CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y

Diff between working 2.6.20 and non working 2.6.20 :

181,182c181,182
< # CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
< CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
---
> CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
> # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
185d184
< CONFIG_X86_PAE=y
191c190
< CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y
---
> # CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT is not set

On a 2.6.20-rc2 and previous, CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y all is working fine.

Steps to reproduce:
Compile a kernel with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G and use it on a Dell PE850.
