This is a 2.6.12 based kernel. I've not had a chance to try the current
CVS yet. The last time I checked the current CVS didn't boot as is on a
4Kc malta so I've not been keeping current with CVS.
When I try a simple
strace ls
I either hang or seg fault on a 24Kc or 24Kec processor, but a 4Kc or
4Kec works. If I turn off the cache on the 24K it works as well. Without
cache it's unbearably slow of course. This is the same exact build of
the kernel and root file system for all boards.
I cannot reproduce this problem on 24KEc Malta, sorry.
What patch are you using to get current CVS to boot on a malta? I've
been disabling prefetch in memcpy, but if you're doing something else I
want to try that. About 1 out of 3 "strace ls" either hangs or seg
faults on me still.
