Comment 21 for bug 859473

I've reproduced this locally:

Just combining

http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_hwpack/omap3/hwpack_linaro-omap3_20111007-0028_armel_supported.tar.gz
http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-nano/20111005/1/images/tar/nano-n-tar-20111005-1.tar.gz

with linaro-media-create (--rootfs ext2) should give you an image that shows the problem.

Unfortunately my SD card seems have to have died, so I can't investigate further.

Running many things would hit SIGILL. I installed gdb in order to try and get the
info Mans requested, but simply trying to start gdb got a SEGV.

Mans looked at the core:

<mru> gdb died reading a byte from a null pointer fwiw
<mru> it's crashing in one of the strtol family by the looks of it

This may be related to the SIGILL problems, but there is a chance that it isn't.

I'm still unsure where the problem is, but I think the current evidence points to the
kernel, either the code itself, or something about the way that it is built under CI.

Anyone else have any good ideas?

Thanks,

James
