You would need to be a little more specific if you want help - e.g. what kernel did you boot, did you get the binary from the MIPS Malta CDROM or website, did you compile yourself, what "go" command parameters did you use to launch the kernel, what CPU are you running on, etc. Only idea I can come up with unless you are more specific is that you accidentally booted the wrong kernel, e.g. Atlas board kernel instead of Malta - this kernel will startup and then hang quickly. /Hartvig Shuanglin Wang writes: > > I try to install the Linux on the Malta board.
