I am trying to build kernel 2.2.0-pre6, with patches from Russell King
and Philip Blundell. When trying to boot, the Netwinder ends up being
stuck sometime before anything is displayed on the screen. I know it
is running, because I compiled in "Timer LED" support - indeed the
appropriate LED is blinking.
Has anyone been able to build this? Would (s)he mind sending me the
".config" file from the /usr/src/linux directory?
I have been using the following compilers:
- Egcs 1.1.1 natively on the Netwinder. This is based on the newest
Debian release from Jim Pick, but with the 990113 patch from
Philip Blundell instead of the 990110 one.
- Egcs 1.1.1 cross-compiler from my PC. This was built on plain
egcs 1.1.1 sources, but again with the 990113 patch above.
I have tried a number of options:
- "Enable kernel-mode alignment trap handler" off and on
- "Split initialization functions into discardable section" off or on
- "Initial kernel command string" set to:
1) an empty string
2) "mem=64M root=/dev/hda1 ro"
3) "mem=64M root=/dev/hda1 netconfig_eth0=disk netconfig_eth1=disk"
- "Math emulation" on, or as module.
A number of others, too. One sample ".config" is attached.
Cheers,
Tor
