[Herbert Poetzl]

Hi!

what is the best way to compile a 2.4.23-pa3
kernel for a HP 9000/800/A400-44?

cpu family	: PA-RISC 2.0
cpu		: PA8500 (PCX-W)
cpu MHz		: 440.000000
model		: 9000/800/A400-44
model name	: Crescendo DC- 440

TIA,
Herbert

I'll assume you've already installed debian.

You'll need to grab the gcc-hppa64 compiler from:	
   ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/gcc-hppa64_3.0.4ds3-7.1_hppa.deb

Then follow directions on http://www.parisc-linux.org/kernel/index.html

If you a "custom-for-a500" config file, you can grab a 2.4.x kernel+config
file from ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernel/a500 to start with.

hmm, is there a source available somewhere ...

okay, looks like the usual stuff ...

If you really want to waste your time in building a cross compiler by =20=

yourself, going through
the various pain of this process, just follow the recipe here:

that "binary only" package :P=

well, what I had in mind was a debian source
package, which can be 'rebuilt' my myself ...

A well know pb which required a new release iirc.

For my part I use a script of mine (get the idea in palinux-autobuild and
something in ruby) that produce me well a compiler (let call it) kgcc-3.3.2
64bit. I recompile first last kernel 2.4 which boot well on my b2k (even
with smp :) ). Unfortunately I do the same excercise with latest 2.6 (pa4)
but i don't reach to make boot the same b2k: it crash very early.
And more over the pimfo doesn't help (neither hpmc nor toc reveal any usable
address?).
hmm is somebody knows if Bruno expect to port its lkcd patch into 2.6?

I'd say it just requires you to disable KALLSYMS in your 64bit kernel
conf.
