SUCCESS: Booting a real 64bit Kernel on Indigo2 R10000 (IP28)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

as exclaimed in the Subject, I have now a 64bit Kernel booting
into /bin/sash on my IP28. Unfortunately, it crashes immediately
at the first keystroke.

In Detail, I used the following software:

- Current binutils CVS with my patch to partially support
  mips64-linux (It's barely enough to build a Kernel).

- An GCC CVS snapshot of 2001-05-01 (later ones do not work)
  with a patch from Ralf to support R10000 and an patch to
  make it bootstrap for mips64-linux.

- Current linux oss CVS with a large patch for mips64 support.

I got with this:

- A real 64bit Kernel image without linker crashes etc.
  No objcopy tricks, the Kernel is loaded at 0xa800000000000000.

- The Kernel uses new-style interrupts (the old ones were confusing
  and crashed on my first attempts to use the serial console).

- The sgiseeq ethernet works, it gets the bootp parameters and
  allows nfs-mounting the rootfs.

- The serial console seems to work also, as good as it can be
  predicted with an immediatly crashing init-shell.
