Hi all, First of all, I apologize for asking this kind of questions here, as there is not many ressources for sgi/linux. I'm following this list's discussions since many months, and I decided to get linux running on my Indy box (R4400, Newport gfx)... To do so, I followed standard installation instructions and used the hardhat5.1 archive located at ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/redhat ... I set up the tftp / bootp / nfs root on a FreeBSD box as we don't have any Linux here, but this shouldn't be a problem, should it ? At this point, the kernel seems to boot without any problems up to the mount root stage, and after it crashes. Here is the last part of the kernel outpout, transcribed by hand (hope there is all informations needed) : ... VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) Freeing unused kernel memory : 44k freed page fault from irq handler : 0000 $0 : <some hexdump> <-- do you need these dumps to understand what's happening ? $4 : <some hexdump> ... $28 : <some hexdump> epc : 880e3e74 Status : 1004fc02 Cause : 00000008 Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel panic : Attempted to kill the idle task In swapper task - not syncing I would appreciate any help, as you have many other better things to do than helping newbies. Thanx in advance -- ------------------------------- --> julien@iside.net -------------------------------
