Hello, I'm currently doing a reverse-engineered IP30 port of Linux-MIPS. Currently I'm using 2.6.1 as my base. I don't know if it's been already fixed in >2.6.1, but in genex.S there should be a 'nop' between 'jal do_\handler' and 'ret_from_exception'. The symptom is a hang on 'Checking for the daddi bug...'. Somebody apparently got used to '.set reorder' :P Well, now the kernel crashes a bit later. Actually, it gets to 'mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice' and then gets an Instruction bus error. I will look into this. Currently the kernel supports only MGRAS graphics (SI, SSI, MXI, SE, SSE, MXE) and uniprocessor. I don't have a SMP machine here, but I guess it would not be particularly hard to do. The ODYSSEY (VPro) would be a bit harder, as its architecture is vastly different from the MGRAS. Anyone interested may send me a VPro6 ;) When I get to 'cannot mount root', I will release the kernel patch. Yours, Stanislaw Skowronek --<=>-- Paranoid: one who is truly in touch with reality.
