Re: Réf. : Compiling a 2.6 kernel for Mips

[Yoann Allain <yallain@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your advices! I found the solution: A serial port data 
structure for my card was defined BUT not used in 
include/asm-mips/serial.h to define SERIAL_PORT_DFNS so that the 
structure was emtpy. Now my kernel prints output and goes a little 
further. It doesn't fully work but for first I'll try to fix it on my own...

Thank you all again for your advices...
