Re: Problem about porting mips kernel

[Jun Sun <jsun@mvista.com>]

I have vr4131 board running just fine here for quite a while now.

A couple of basic things you may to check with:

. Make sure you have CONFIG_CPU_VR41XX set (obviously).
. Use your own init program that poke some devices other
  than console.  Just to make sure it is *not* the SIU
  console driver problem.

Other things you want to check is the CPU revision.  Make sure
it is 0x0c82, which is v2.2.  Otherwise there are some nasty
cache problems you need to work around.

What is your kernel base?  The latest linux-mips.org CVS tree?
