Re: 2.4 kernels broken on Takara?

Hi

Which compiler (gcc) do you use? Try gcc 3.3.2. But i think
this is a problem in the bridging code for the takara.
You should check the program counter (PC/ IP) against
your System.map to find the function in which the
trap occurs.
However some older kernel from debian, rh or suse should
work at least - i hope.
