Hi, I've got a swarm board with a pass1 sibyte sb1250. Here's the relevant system info from the boot up console: CFE version 1.0.36 for SWARM (64bit,MP,BE) Build Date: Tue Jan 28 17:17:30 PST 2003 (mpl@lc-sj1-092) Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002,2003 Broadcom Corporation.

Runs great, once I applied a set of pass1 patches, and some fixes from linux-mips.org code. Now I'm trying to get 2.6 running, but I'm having no luck. I've pulled both the 2.6.6 release from kernel.org, and the 2.6.5 release from linux-mip cvs. In both cases, I've used the default swarm config that shipped with the release, unmodified. Gcc 3.0.3 - same as 2.4. 2.6.6 from kernel.org doesn't appear to run at all. Once I load the image via CFE and type "go" I get absolutely no console output - the system just hangs. 2.6.5 from linux-mips is a bit better - I get bootup console output, then an immediate crash (included below). Has anyone had any luck getting 2.6 running on swarm with pass1? Thanks for any help you can provide, -Ken.
