The problem may be coming from the binutils bugs that were used to create the kernel image, which is 2.8.1 which reportedly (at least from our company) do not produce usable 'insmod'. It is not 5Kc - related stuff, we have several boards with such processors (including Malta and Atlas) and all of them exibited module problems with "old" toolchain (binutils 2.8.1 - egcs 1.0.3a - glibc 2.0.6). Newer kernel 2.4.x is also available from mips' ftp site, but we haven't checked it out yet. -- Sincerely yours, Michael Shmulevich ______________________________________ Software Developer Jungo - R&D email: michaels@jungo.com web: http://www.jungo.com Phone: 1-877-514-0537(USA) +972-9-8859365(Worldwide) ext. 233 Fax: 1-877-514-0538(USA) +972-9-8859366(Worldwide)
