hello,linux-mips I am porting support of Algorithmics P6032 evalution board from 2.2 kernel to 2.4. I started with the kernel 2.4.3 from hardhat2.0 distribution.Now I am able to boot the kernel but it hangs up when trying to exec /sbin/init.The error message is something like: Init: Kernel panic: trying to kill init Init:error loading libc.so.6, undefined symbol _sec0 But if i let the kernel execute /bin/ash.static directly,it can give me a shell while complaining something like" no tty found,job control disabled". Then I can use most commands such as ls,passwd,cat.So the libc.so.6 can't be a corrupted one. The test environment is: Algorithmics P6032 with a idt79RC64474 CPU IDE hard disk(IBM Deskstar 40M,7200rpm) Kernel options: pci,ide(with/without dma,multimode) enabled serial console enabled What can be the cause? I suspect the ide driver first.But disabling dma doesn't help and it seems to work quite well under ash. I am investigating the cause,if you want,I can provide more information.
