Hi All, I am porting the Philips/PNX8550 kernel from 2.6.17.13 to 2.6.19. I am having some issues: One issue I am having is with the new Timer API that replaced the board specific API. I have made all of the important changes board_timer_setup -> plat_timer_setup When I run the kernel it hangs in the calibrate_delay function. Eventually the complete kernel does run but it runs very slow. This is usually an issue with the Timer Interuppt setup etc. But I have looked at the other MIPS ports and seem to have made the same changes. On the PNX8550 it does not use the CP0 timer but use a different timer (the Custom MIPS core has 3 extra timers) I replaced the arch/mips/kernel/time.c with a merge between 2.6.17.13 and 2.6.19 and I can get the kernel to boot at the correct speed straight through the calibrate_delay function and the entire system seems to be working correctly. I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on how to debug this problem as I would like a clean port to 2.6.19. Maybe the new timer code will not work properly on the PNX8550 in which case maybe some patches are required. I am continuing to debug at my end and once I have a working system with the smallest set of changes to the time.c file I will post them in the hope that someone will point out a silly error I have made in the CPU/board setup. In the mean time any helpful ideas on debugging, tracing, even solving this issue would be really appreciated Daniel -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/2.6.19-timer-API-changes-tf2838715.html#a7925588 Sent from the linux-mips main mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
