Hi, I am porting the linux-mips 2.4.22 kernel to a custom Au1500 board and I am seeing strange output when the kernel starts. Some lines feed ok, but some don't, and in that case the error level is displayed (ie, <4>). Also numerous characters are dropped. Does anybody have any clue about what might be happening? See kernel output below. Thanks, Lyle CPU revision is: 01030200<4>Primary instruction cache 16kB, physically tagged, 4 -way, linesize 32 bytes.<4>Primary data cache 16kB 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
