In case people are wondering where this is at.... today we got a somewhat working shell..... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Stand-alone shell (version 3.4) > uname -a Linux (none) 2.5.26-pa0 #106 Sat Jul 27 18:49:37 PDT 2002 parisc unknown unknown GNU/Linux This is on a a500 (64-bit kernel). Richard has also had success with b180 (iirc). For the most part things are still quite broken (init, ls, etc don't work yet). There are probably some changes related to the task_struct to thread_info transition that still needs to be worked out for syscalls to work correctly.... Richard Hirst worked out most of the bugs to get userspace working. Thanks Richard! :-) randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
