Hi, I'm trying to port linux kernel to a mips board with a R4700 processor. It has a rom monitor program which can be used to load the image. (has support for tftp boot, xmodem....) . This bootloader has a hardcoded cpu_type which is cross checked with the e_machine value in the elf header. When I try to load the linux kernel this check (cpu_type == e_machine) fails & hence the boot loader aborts the loading of image. I tried to change the e_machine type value by changing the EM_MIPS value in include/linux/elf.h, still e_machine type is "8" in the image even after completely rebuilding the image. I even changed the EM_MIPS value in /usr/include/elf.h & couple of other locations (sde headers.....) still no luck....though hand editing the elf header is an option.. I don't want to do that ! If any of you have any idea/suggestions I would be a happy man ! Thanks in advance, Indu
