This post is a quick note of progress.
1 Have built the kernel with Jonathon's reverting diff applied.
2 From a cold boot it hangs at the same location (I think).
I need to investigate further.
3 Initially I forgot to
# make install, and (of course) it failed with
$ make install.
If that warrants doing a fresh build I will do so.
4 I have captured a number of tmux pane tails of the
make outputs. I do not think they show anything useful but I
will keep them until the problem is found.
5 mutt is set up on this (problem) machine and is being used to
send this email.
6 When I have sent this I will get another set of serial console
output from the newly installed '#0' kernel.
