The kernel compiles, but the machine locks up during boot. I tried debugging with the impactsr_early kernel patch, but got no useful info or change in the boot lock-up behavior. I don\\'t think the problem is related to my gfx board. I\\'m using an Octane2, dual 400 MHz R12Ks, 1 GB RAM, ESI gfx. My boot kernel is 2.6.13.4-mipscvs-20050914-ip30r10k+, which I think I grabbed out of the Gentoo-MIPS LiveCD-rc5. My dev env consists of: gcc/kgcc64 4.1.1 gcc-config-1.3.15-r1 binutils-config-1.9-r4 binutils-2.16.1-r3 coreutils-6.7-r1 mips-headers-2.6.16.16 I\\'m beginning to suspect that mip-headers is just too out-of-date and needs to be replaced with linux-headers. Unfortunately, the latest versions of linux-headers depend on lzma-utils, which won\\'t compile in my dev env. So, I\\'m stuck too. I\\'m trying to get 2.6.20.18.ip30 compiled as an interim step in a solution, thinking that lzma-utils may compile with that kernel and, in turn, allow me to install linux-headers. After a couple compile and boot attempts with 2.6.20.18.ip30, I\\'m seeing the same boot lock-up behavior. Strange, since other have reporting booting 2.6.20.18. Sorry I can\\'t be of more help with your problem. But, maybe some of the info on my situation will give you some insights. I\\'ll report back once I find a solution. |

Things changed dramatically from .17 to .2*, and relying on oldconfig alone isn't recommended. After having failure trying to use the 2.6.17/.config i erased and rewind running through menuconfig and just check the categories for a fresh new .config Unfortunately still the new kernel does not boot: nested exceptions sometimes point at ARCS bugs. ... somebody is talking about \"out-of-date PROM\" ... what i get when i try to boot 2.6.22.6 is: \"PROM WRITE ERROR ON CACHELINE 0x1fcba700 at PC=0x203f302c\" anybody has success with 2.6.2* ? if so which release ? could i see the config ? i'am using gcc 4.1.2, kgcc 4.1.2, binutils 2.17 my Octane2 prom monitor is \"sgi version 6.5 rev 4.17 IP 30 jan 20, 2004 - 64 bit\" here it my the status of kernel 2.6.2* 2.6.17.14.ip30: tested and working 2.6.20.18.ip30: it boots, but it stops itself without any error at the keyboard i8042 line <*> SGI IOC3 keyboard controller <*> i8042 PC Keyboard controller i8042 should be removed as the right controller is SGI IOC3 KB .... should this error block the kernel bootstrap ? need to be recompiled <*> SGI IOC3 keyboard controller <_> i8042 PC Keyboard controller 2.6.22.6.ip30: it doesn't boot: the boot loader loads it, the everything simply stops to work without any message i can provide .config anybody with success ? could i see your config ? |
