Message-ID: <20020303185049.A1788@paname.org> (raw)

Hi,

I'm  working  on  support  for  IDT  RC32355  CPU  on  a  board  we're
developping and  when trying to port  my code to a  recent snapshot of
the cvs  tree (up  to now,  I was using  a snapshot  dated of  dec 15,
2001),  the kernel  crashed at  boot  while starting  the init  thread
(unaligned access).

Looking at the diffs, I noticed  that putting back the following lines
at  the end  of head.S  (they've  been removed  in revision  1.29.2.4)
resolves the problem:

/*
 * Align to 8kb boundary for init_task_union which follows in the
 * .text segment.
 */
		.text
                .align  13

Any idea why they have been removed?

BTW,  print_memory_map()  (in  kernel.c)  now uses  long  long  format
without casting (which obviously gives wrong numbers on 32bits archs).

Regards,
Rani
