Subject: Kernel startup assumptions/requirements
Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 12:05:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <011101c402dc$77b09b60$3000a8c0@foundation> (raw)

I am new to Linux and am in the process of trying to get a kernel booted on
a PPC board.  What assumptions/requirements (if any) does the kernel have
about any system state/setup prior to the execution of the kernel entry
point?

Is it simply that the kernel is loaded and memory is accessible?   MMU
on/off?  Do any other peripherals (e.g 10ms timer) need to be initialized?

Thanks,
Stuart Yoder
