hi, all. while in the process of changing page size of kernel to 16KB i am facing a strange problem. the kernel boots up & user command, currently statically linked shell, loads. it displays first prompt. pressing enter keys, the serial device receives the interrupts but no activity on shell's part. where could the shell possibly be stuck? this is LSI MIPS EZ4021 implementation. please please help!!! many thanks & regards, girish. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
