hello all. i'm trying to bringup linux 2.4.[2|9] on our board based on LSI mips r4k core. right now the kernel compiled with gcc-3.0, boots up & can only work with statically linked commands. hence the root file system mounted from ramdisk,nfs, & de-dream ide-disk can show some-prompt only if ash.static is invoked. this is seen with 2.4.3 & ditto with 2.4.9. the kernel is in un-cached mode,since we have page-size problem with our core in cached, write through/back both, modes. so question is WHY THE COMMANDS WITH SHARED LIBRARY DONOT WORK. FAILS TO LOAD SHARED LIBRARIES. the problem no.2 is root on ide-disk. the disk is paritioned & formatted using a linux pentium-pc. using a master disk the above said statically linked commands are downloaded to slave disk. the board boots up. however the bdflush/update process corrupts file-system. the UPDATE PROCESS CORRUPTS SUPERBLOCK AND INODES WHILE FLUSHING THE DIRTY BUFERS. PLEASE! PLEASE!! HELP ME ON THIS. THIS NEWSGROUP IS MY LAST HOPE. many thanks in advance with regards, girish. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
