Re: Kernel versions 6.x don't boot on Amiga 4000
Hi Finn,
FTR, here is the diff of the dmesg between good and bad:
+initrd: 07f61166 - 08000000
This is wrong (note the 6 trailing zeros), as phys_to_virt() is not
working correctly yet (module_fixup() is called from paging_init()).
Zone ranges:
DMA [mem 0x0000000007400000-0x0000007fffffffff]
Normal empty
Movable zone start for each node
Early memory node ranges
node 0: [mem 0x0000000007400000-0x0000000007ffffff]
Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000007400000-0x0000000007ffffff]
-initrd: 00b61166 - 00c00000
This is correct (note the 5 trailing zeros).
-pcpu-alloc: s0 r0 d32768 u32768 alloc=1*32768
-pcpu-alloc: [0] 0

Which we can avoid, by moving the ramdisk handling inside paging_init().

Presumably something in memblock_reserve() relies on having
called paging_init() before?
I'll do some more debugging later today...
