Hi, I am trying to replace currently running 2.4.22 with 2.6.9 on a board based on IXPD425. I tried compiling with our existing tool chain, /usr/local/tools/arm/bin/arm-linux-gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/tools/arm/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/3.2.1/specs Configured with: ../../src/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/tools/arm --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c --with-headers=/usr/local/linux-2.4.22/include Kernel boots fine like this. When kernel tries to exec /sbin/init, it gets stuck/hung. It does not panic. Does it has something to do with the --with-headers option of gcc? Should I recompile the tool chain to include 2.6.9 kernel headers? Thanks for any pointers. Regards, Om.
