Hi all, In the linux-mips cvs big endian operation of the au1550 is not selectable. Is there a reason for this? what would I need to do to get big endian support? The chip does run big endian, as I have yamon running on it here. And a previously the linux-mips kernel allowed this. The kernel will compile big end but I get an oops as the kernel starts up Thanks JP VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1 Dquot-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order 0, 4096 bytes) Break instruction in kernel code in arch/mips/kernel/traps.c::do_bp, line 557[#1]: Cpu 0 $ 0 : 00000000 1000fc00 00000000 10000000 $ 4 : 00000001 00000001 fffb6ccf 00000000 $ 8 : 10000000 00000008 803c0000 00100100 $12 : 811c5edd fffffffa ffffffff 0000000a $16 : 1000fc01 803e7bc0 803c0000 80380000 $20 : 803d0000 80380000 803d0000 00000000 $24 : 00000008 811c5df9 $28 : 811c4000 811c5e40 811c5e40 80103900 Hi : 00000000 Lo : 00000000 epc : 8033f818 preempt_schedule_irq+0xcc/0xd8 Not tainted ra : 80103900 ret_from_fork+0x0/0x8 Status: 1000fc02 KERNEL EXL Cause : 00800024 PrId : 03030200 Modules linked in: Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=811c4000, task=803e7bc0) Stack : 803fbbf4 803fbbe0 1000fc01 8012f7b8 1000fc01 80379420 803c0000 00000000 80103900 80100c00 811c5ed8 00000000 00000000 80247490 803fbb80 813b396c 00000000 1000fc00 00000001 811c4008 00000001 00000001 803c0028 0000000b 002d4cae 801fc8ec 00000018 00100100 811c5edd fffffffa ffffffff 0000000a 1000fc01 80379420 803c0000 80380000 803d0000 80380000 803d0000 00000000 ...
