Hi, In fact I changed to the mipsel SDE because I had the same results after using mipsel-linux-binutils-2.14-3.i386.rpm and mipsel-linux-gcc-2.95.3-23.i386.rpm. Could be related to the kernel source I used? thanks for answering. oski ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geert Uytterhoeven" <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "oski" <oski2001@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Linux/MIPS Development" <linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 7:39 PM Subject: Re: Compiling a kernel for ibm z50 > On Tue, 27 Sep 2005, oski wrote: > > I am a newbie trying to compile a kernel for my z50 and up to now failed. > > > > This is my set up: > > -An old Pentium II box with Redhat 8 > > -Downloaded linux-2.6.13.mipscvs-20050904 from www.longlandclan...and bzip2 > > and tar into /usr/src. > > -Installed the mipsel crosscompiler from MIPS SDE > > This is a FAQ, please use a real mipsel-linux crosscompiler instead. > > Gr{oetje,eeting}s, > > Geert > > -- > Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
