I've finally got our origin to load linux kernel via bootp/tftp (Btw, it _must_ be the same server for bootp and tftp?) I have my cross cimpiled kernel 2.4.9. Kernel options are: root=/dev/nfs ip=... nfsroot=... init=/bin/bash However it never boots up. At random place it freezes. Sometimes without any oops genereated sometimes with. I've also tried kernel from ftp site - kernel/test/origin - linux-2.4.2. same behaviour. Is there something I could do? Is that ok that cpu clock is 65535MHz? kernel messages: 1457776 +451040 5448 entry: 0xa800000000184000 ARCH: SGI-IP27 PROMLIB: ARC firmware Version 64 Revision 0 Discovered 1 cpus on 1 nodes Total memory probed : 0x4000 pages Linux version 2.4.2 (ralf@cashcow) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #4 SMP Tue Mar 20 00:33:52 MET 2001 Loading R10000 MMU routines.
