Hello, I tried to boot the precompiled kernel : ftp://ftp.realitydiluted.com/Nino/kernel/precompiled/vmlinux-2.4.17.gz using pbsdboot but all I can see is the display scrambled, and not a bootup sequence, nothing at hyperterminal set as 115200 8-N-1 How to get it working? (booting) Manually: I tried to crosscompile a kernel from sources ftp://ftp.realitydiluted.com/Nino/kernel/ on a x86 machine but I encountered some errors when making dep # make dep gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c scripts/mkdep.c: In function `add_path': scripts/mkdep.c:221: `PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) scripts/mkdep.c:221: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once scripts/mkdep.c:221: for each function it appears in.) scripts/mkdep.c:221: warning: unused variable `resolved_path' make: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error 1 # gcc -v Reading specs from /opt/toolchains/mips/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux/3.1/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=/opt/toolchains/mips --target=mipsel-linux i686-pc-linux-gnu --includedir=/opt/toolchains/mips/mipsel-linux/include --with-gxx-include-dir=/opt/toolchains/mips/mipsel-linux/include --mandir=/opt/toolchains/mips/man --infodir=/opt/toolchains/mips/info --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads --enable-shared --disable-checking Thread model: posix gcc version 3.1 [root@crosscompiling linux]# echo $PATH /opt/toolchains/mips/bin:/opt/toolchains/mips/mipsel-linux:/opt/toolchains/mips/mipsel-linux/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin So after modifying value PATH_MAX with 4095 in the mkdep.c I got # make dep gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c if [ ! -f /usr/src/linux/include/asm-mips/offset.h ]; then \ touch /usr/src/linux/include/asm-mips/offset.h; \ fi; make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/mips/boot' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `dep'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/mips/boot' scripts/mkdep -- init/*.c > .depend /bin/sh: scripts/mkdep: cannot execute binary file make: *** [dep-files] Error 126 ]# cat .config |grep "CONFIG_CROSS" CONFIG_CROSSCOMPILE=y #file scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep: ELF 32-bit LSB mips-1 executable, MIPS R3000_LE [bfd bug], version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped -- Thanx in advance, Rujinski Remus Nikolai mailto:deltha@analog.ro
