Hi Dan, Thanks for your suggestion. But still I'm using the old source code with the patch to pb1550 while I'm trying your suggestion. The kernel code which I was using to generate the image for Au1500 is working well. After applying the patch for pb1550 the image develops the problem. Now, when I mrproper and build again, I get the following link failure(which I didn't get while build for Au1500) make CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -f omit-frame-pointer -I /home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/include/asm/gc c -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -pipe -mcpu=r4600 -mips2 -Wa,--trap " -C arch/mi ps/lib make[1]: Entering directory `/home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/arch/mi ps/lib' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/arch/mi ps/lib' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/arch/mip s/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/arch/mip s/lib' mips_fp_le-ld -G 0 -static -T arch/mips/ld.script arch/mips/kernel/head.o arch/ mips/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \ --start-group \ arch/mips/kernel/kernel.o arch/mips/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/f s.o ipc/ipc.o arch/mips/math-emu/fpu_emulator.o arch/mips/pci/pci-core.o \ drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/n et/net.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/sound/sounddriver s.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/mtd/mtdlink.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/med ia/media.o \ net/network.o \ arch/mips/lib/lib.a /home/amd/project/amd/test/newtry/linux.old/lib/lib. a arch/mips/au1000/pb1550/pb1550.o arch/mips/au1000/common/au1000.o \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux mips_fp_le-ld: init/main.o: uses different e_flags (0x0) fields than previous mo dules (0x100) Bad value: failed to merge target specific data of file init/main.o mips_fp_le-ld: init/do_mounts.o: uses different e_flags (0x0) fields than previo us modules (0x100) Bad value: failed to merge target specific data of file init/do_mounts.o make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 I doubt this could be the reason why the image not runs on this processor. Please tell me if it could lead to TLB exception. I'm also building with the linux-mips.org source code.
