Hi Christian,
Christian - can you remember which 2.6 kernel that last had ethernet
working for you?
I haven't been testing kernels a lot recently... from the logfiles it would
seem the last kernel that was running on kullervo was this one:
Linux version 2.6.24-1-amiga (Debian 2.6.24-4) (waldi@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.3.6) #1 Tue Feb 12 10:05:37 CET 2008
Plain 2.6.24 from Geert's tree does show TX timeouts again - no watchdog
firing this time because IDE wasn't even built as module (something
cause make oldconfig to drop all IDE stuff when starting from Tuomas'
.config).
Speaking of which - I cannot even build IDE at all in that release:
CC [M] drivers/ide/ide-lib.o
drivers/ide/ide-lib.c: In function `ide_dump_atapi_status':
drivers/ide/ide-lib.c:601: internal compiler error: in
verify_local_live_at_start, at flow.c:600
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
I'm sure we've seen that before and it did eventually get fixed.
I think the kernel from Stephens d-i image was working also, but I have not
tested that intensively, only for installing from scratch. In May I wrote
this was:
Linux kullervo 2.6.26-1-amiga #1 Thu Oct 16 08:59:25 CDT 2008 m68k GNU/Linux
OK; I'll give that a shot - I'll probably have to go back before 2.6.24
though if the timeout already happened in 2.6.24. Can you test my 2.6.26
on kullervo some time, to confirm you have the same ethernet timeouts
there?
Is there a simple way to cross-build an initrd image?
It seems we'd need that to really test under conditions comparable to
the Debian kernel situation.
Cheers,
Michael
