-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What's the recommended kernel for this machine? I've only managed to boot 2.4.17 from debian and 2.4.18 http://www.xs4all.nl/~vhouten/mipsel/vmlinux-2.4.18-decR3k.ecoff.tgz Unfortunately both of them freezes system (RH7.1/RH7.3) f.e. when trying to cat /proc/cpuinfo. No oops, no message on serial, just hard freeze. using rpm also likes to freeze this machine. I've tried co cross compile kernel from cvs at linux-mips.org, but it stop at boot time just after setting high precission timer. vanila kernel (2.6.7) ends with kernel panic. cross tools used: 1. the newest versions from: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/crossdev/i386-linux/mipsel-linux 2. self compiled: $ mipsel-pld-linux-gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-pld-linux/3.3.4/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info - --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib - --libexecdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/mipsel-pld-linux/include - --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c --with-gnu-as - --with-gnu-ld --with-system-zlib --with-multilib --without-x - --build=athlon-pld-linux --host=athlon-pld-linux --target=mipsel-pld-linux Thread model: single gcc version 3.3.4 $ mipsel-pld-linux-ld -v GNU ld version 2.15.91.0.1 20040527 The same effect on both. I cannot find any patches for decstation on the net Are there any more mips kernel repositories over the net? I've got this machine two days ago and I'm trying to make small PLD port there. I would be gratefull for any help. - -- Regards Havner http://livecd.pld-linux.org GG: 2846839 jid,mail: havner(at)pld-linux.org "We live as we dream, alone" - Joseph Conrad -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA/Bq2gvS01FGjsR8RAvf+AKDKvYER+aHg9MllDJ0do8xwpBswpgCfY829 cj2WQZc1m+lpU8+aQxo8T7Q= =RDi8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
