[Serdev] kernel panic on ppc

[Samuel Osorio Calvo]

Hi!

Recently I had the opportunity to experiment porting SER to a power PC architecture (motorola 8260) and I successfully compiled it with the fastlocking changes for power PC commited by Andrei recently.

The issue is that I can make SER work in non fork mode but when I set to to forking mode, an access violation occurs, and a kernel panic pops up:

INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds

I have not yet gone deeply in the MMU of the platform, but I've been said it is there (although no vmstat appears in /proc.???).

If any of you can offer any help it would be great because I am a newby in the embedded linux world....

Thanks,

Samuel.
