RE: Kernel not working

["Richard Copeman" <richard.copeman@lauterbach.co.uk>]

Hello again,

Please accept my apologies if I seem a little slow. I downloaded the
pre-built 3.4.2 toolchain and it has the bug mentioned in the newbie guide
so that Uboot 1.1.3 does not build. Since, I do not have the source to the
3.4.2 toolchain it is impossible for me to apply the patch recommended by
the documentation to elf32-arm.h ;-(

Can somebody point me at a pre built arm-linux tool chain so I can build
Uboot 1.1.3 please? Or a pre-built Uboot.bin 1.1.3 for OMAP 5912OSK?

Many thanks,

Richard.

As I am not a OSK user, but I remember someone saying that updating the
u-boot helps on OSK. Please try the latest version of u-boot then.
