It could well be an endianness problem in the ELF tools if that's what you are using to build stuff. While we did at one point try to squash them, we may have missed some -- over the long haul dos-x-hppa-elf did not turn out to be all that popular of a host-x-target combination (what a surprise). BTW, did I mention that probably the first thing your kernel should do is start mucking around with the leds? They're an awful primitive, but highly valuable debugging tool. jeff
