I want to port this kernel on a MPC860P proprietary board called pLines. I can execute my kernel init until the last execve command which launches the sh command. I can get my ip address from a bootp server and mount a network file system. When the execve is run the following functions are called : do_load_elf_binary - flush_old_exec - exec_mmap - new_page_tables - SET_PAGE_DIR This last function calls an asm instruction, ie "mtspr M_TWB 1DF00". On the MBX board it is "mtspr M_TWB 1DE00". This instruction sets the tablewalk level one base value. If I comment this instruction, I can have the ash application which crashes when calling other applications. If I uncomment this instruction I have nothing. If I add an infinitely printk loop after the mtspr, printk works during 2 to 3 s then cpu crashes. But printk seems not to be sure while page manipulation. Any help on this subject will be welcome. Thanks to all Sorry for my poor english language, je suis français. Bye Gerard Guevel ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
