Re: Maybe a Problem with "tip22"



Hi Guido,

	Your package tested out OK.  I only have an Indy.  So I only tried "tip22".

	Thanks!

"__rd_end".  I actually modified "ld.script.IP22" by putting
"0x89702000" in the start address and built myself a netboot image
using the extracted "kernel" and "initrd".  I got to the installer
screen but I don't need to reinstall right now. :)

Geat, could you also try to use
http://honk.sigxcpu.org/linux-mips/arcboot/tip22_0.3.14_mips.deb

to build that image? This should fix the issue. It also fixes the messed
up addresses on IP32.

Hi,

	The screen shot in Attilio's bug report was done by me on my Indy.
I am not experienced in this beginning of the universe kind of code.
But I found the following clues which may be useful.
I can reproduce the problem here now. A the same kernel+initrd that
works with 0.3.12 doesn't with 0.3.13 (unlucky number it seems). I try
come up with a patch during the next couple of days.

BTW can I directlry fetch the initrd and kernel that was used to build:

	http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-mips/current/images/r4k-ip22/netboot-boot.img	

I thought these used to be on the mirrors but can't seem to find them.
Cheers,
