Updated from gentoo-sources-2.6.38 to 2.6.39. Did make oldconfig and recompiled, copy image and rebooted. Kernel starts till output "switching to clocksource tsc" and stalls, machine reset necessary. Emerged vanilla-sources-2.6.39 copied .config from gentoo-sources-2.6.39 build kernel and reboot to vanilla-sources. This time no delay. Reproducible: Always did make clean and make -j 1 for gentoo-sources-2.6.39 with no change still hangs. Grub kernel line: kernel /boot/gentoo64-2.6.39 rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sdb2 earlyprintk=vga acpi=off CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

Same problem!
Same problem with kernel linux-2.6.39-gentoo kernel config in attachment

Created attachment 275031 [details] friend's .config - he doesn't have this issue I posted .config given to me by friend. He reported to me that he never came across this problem. 2.6.39-gentoo is working for him.
Do you have console decorations enabled in the kernel? If so I think this might be a duplicate of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368109
Im actually getting this with 2.6.38-r6; however if I use option clocksource=hpet it still hangs, this time after "Refined TSC clocksource calibration" so I think its something else that is supposed to occur just after that point.
If you just let it sit there for a few minutes...say 5 minutes tops...does anymore text show up on the screen? If so anything of importance? For instance when my box started doing it I jus let it sit there for like 5 mins while I was googling a solution on my phone. After a few minutes some more text showed up that looked similar to a panic. It said something about fbcon_helper blocked for 120 seconds. Even if its not the same issue this block of code could still be useful.

I'd post them, but I have no way of easily copying them. Interestingly, gendepends.sh was referenced in each.
I use uvesa with initramfs built into kernel. Actually i use 2.6.38-r6 and i dont have any problems so far. But when i switch to 2.6.39 it hangs, and even changing boot options does not help. I tried: clocksource=hpet clocksource=acpi_pm acpi=off and combination of them. I use the same .config for both kernels: http://wklej.org/id/537734/

When i leave them, it hangs after video mode switch, so looks like framebuffer works, but no decoration so far.
(In reply to comment #9) > Do you have console decorations enabled in the kernel? If so I think this might > be a duplicate of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368109 It seems so. I have set CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR=y in my config. I tried the change suggested in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368109#c15 and i get a booting kernel with gentoo-sources, although without bootsplash. So it's not a solution but at least the source is identified (for me). Thanks for the hint. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 368109 ***
