Re: MIPS - 64bit woes

[Jim Gifford <maillist@jg555.com>]

Here is what I did to track down the errors.

I created a diff between the last working kernel 2.6.12 and the current 
kernel. Started with cpu-probe.c, that to me seemed the logical choice.

After patching the rest of files needed to support the patch in 
cpu-probe.c, I was finally able to produce a kernel under 2.6.12 with 
the same problem.

The files that I ported from 2.6.14 to 2.6.12 are the following
cpu-probe.c
cpu.h
mipsregs.h
cache.c
cpu-features.h

Here is a link to the patches I used http://ftp.jg555.com/errors

Looking at mipsregs.h, something doesn't look right for a 64 bit system. 
But I'm not the expert.

Here are my findings, I hope someone out there has an idea.
