Ok, thanks for the info.

On your next reply, can you please hit the "reply-to-all" button so that
I can get your reply and not have to go fish it out of the lkml flood? I
would've easily missed it if tglx didn't point me to it.

In any case, your CPU is too old for me to even find such a box and your
.config boots fine in qemu so I guess we'll have to debug it.

Can you apply the diff below on your 5.14.9 kernel, boot with it and
send full dmesg again?

Thx.
