hi all, I have a MIPS based malta board. For this I have two linux kernel images. First one is built from Montavista 2.4.20 sources and the second one is built from the 2.4.29 kernel sources downloaded from linux-mips.org. In my setup, image is downloaded to the target malta board by using load command in YAMON and root file system is mounted on NFS. If I use the image built from Montavista sources, my target is up and running. On the otherhand if I use the image built from linux-2.4.29 sources, the board hangs after displaying the message "Linux started". config file for 2.4.29 is enclosed along with this mail. My malta board info ---------------------------- Board type/revision = 0x02 (Malta) / 0x00 Core board type/revision = 0x01 (CoreLV) / 0x01 FPGA revision = 0x0001 Processor Company ID/options= 0x01 (MIPS Technologies Inc.) / 0x00 Processor ID/revision = 0x80 (MIPS 4Kc) / 0x05 Endianness = big CPU/Bus frequency = 125 MHz/ 63 MHz Flash Memory size = 4 MByte SDRAM size = 64 MByte First free SDRAM address = 0x8009e380 Tool chain Information: -------------------------------- mips-linux-gcc - 3.3.6 binutils - 2.15.94.0.2.2 uClibc-0.9.27 Tool chain is built using buildroot and same tool chain is used to compile both the kernels. Has anyone faced this problem? Can you please point out what could be the problem ? Same problem is observed when vanilla linux 2.4.25 source from kernel.org is compiled. Can we use vanilla linux kernel on malta, without any patches ? TIA, --kishore
