Yes, I did that and can report that this one
printk()kills it for me. I.e., it boots and runs fine with this line commented out, but when I put it back and rebuild, that kernel gets the same oops during boot.
Thanks. It looks like that I missed that there is still large window where we use fbcon before mode is set on underlying fbdev, even after reorg. I did at console level. For now it is easier to remove this printk...
