It runs Cobalt's 2.0 kernel just fine, and I've managed to upgrade gcc and binutils to 2.95.4 and 2.13.2.1 respectively. I can build the 2.5.47 kernel out of cvs cleanly, but when it boots I get swap errors like: swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 4081004e over and over and over. The latest 2.4 kernel source from cvs also compiles cleanly, but just hangs. Both of these kernels die in the execve() call at the end of init/main.c. My debugging has lead me to believe there is some problem with the tlb, but I could certainly be wrong. Any suggestions? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Dempsey 972-866-9199x104(V) Vice President R&D 972-866-0179(F) Transfinity Corp bdempsey@transfinity.com 4851 LBJ Freeway Dallas, TX 75244
