Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-mips-outgoing Hello , I have the follwing problem. I setup a HardHat distribution on a mips machine ( an ATLAS board) and everithing runs fine in big-endian mode. Now I want to run the board inlittle endian mode so I took the linux/mipsel distribution , I did the same steps as with big-endian distribution. I run load tftp:/linux/mipsel/vmlinux-el.srec and it works fine . Then I issue the command go . root=/dev/sda1 ( I do not install the HardHat again ???? maybe here it is the problem ) I get the following error. ========================================================== VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing prom memory: 1020k freed Freeing unused kernel memory: 68k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. ========================================================== So please tell me where did I go wrong ? Nicu
