Dear Michael Zaidman,
In message 660c0f821002240238t71a6d793we93747bbb8bb8cf9@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
The "Hit any key to stop autoboot:" of abortboot routine misses the key hits issued via netconsole. It happens due to delays of 10ms used to count passed seconds in the abortboot routine of main.c file. All key events arrived asynchronously during these delays are lost.
If I understand your message correctly you did not try changing this 10ms delay?
I mean, functionally it makes no difference if we implement the 1 second delay loop as 100 iterations of 10 ms or as 1,000 iterations of 1 ms or as 10,000 iterations of 100 us. OK, the shorter the delay the worse the accuracy due to the per-loop overhead, but this could be easily fixed if it really was a problem.
Maybe you can try of 1000*1ms or 10,000*0.1ms works for you?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
