Hey Folks, we are working on a SMP8634-based box to get Linux running on it. Since we don't have any documentation, neither hardware nor software, there is a lot of re-engineering work to be done. However, we managed it to let the box load a Linux kernel .. but it still fails at a certain point. It's right before the kernel loads the "NET: .."-stuff. I got this from an other SMP8634-based box, which runs the same kernel. Any hints about what might doesn't work? Regards, Andi <output> Execute final at 0x90020000 ..
