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. -- ---- Jim Gifford maillist@jg555.com
