My own
Malta kernels are built from rather old 2.6 sources, so it's not
clear that
all the same options are required/possible. The questions that
come to
mind for me are:
1) You're
booting a big-endian kernel. The Malta board can be set up
for either endianness with a DIP switch, but I believe that it ships
from the factory in little-endian mode. Have you verified that the
endianness setup?
2)
You're configuring for hot-pluggable CPUs. That isn't fully
supported
in
the old source base I've got. It may be fixed in 2.6.14, but do you
actually need it on a Malta?
3) You've
got support for MIPS MT (the multithreading extension) enabled,
with
the slave-virtual-processor boot loader, etc. This stuff only works
on a 34K core, and could cause severe problems if invoked on a 4Kc.
At
least you don't have SMP/SMTC multi-virtual-processor support
enabled, which would *definitely* cause a prompt crash on a 4Kc,
but
please turn MIPS_MT off. If MIPS MT + VPE loader are
really
selected options in the default malta config file, it needs to be
fixed!
