Try it with a trivial one (~2k or so) and see if > that works. I've been playing with a 4 MB initrd (I have 36 MB of RAM on the MBX board). Just tried a 2kB initrd (empty, not even a filesystem in it); but at least the kernel should boot, right? It hangs... Hm... No luck with the latest snapshot of egcs either; it dies with "Internal compiler error in function emit_move_insn_1" But ok, the install of linuxppc-R4 on my PowerBook is running with only minor problems so far... Ok, now I tryed this with a set of native compilers: egcs-2.90.25 as comes with linuxppc-R4, then egcs-1.1.1, and the latest egcs-19990103 snapshot: egcs-19990103 both cross and native: "Internal compiler error in function emit_move_insn_1" when compiling init/main.c (line 2663). egcs-1.1.1 both cross and native: compiles fine, but the kernel hangs egcs-2.90.25 native: compiles fine, and the kernel BOOTS!!! [*All* configurations I failed to get running with the other compiler versions run fine when I compile with egcs-2.90.25 from linuxppc-R4!] Either I am too dumb to build EGCS, or ... Has anybodyy else seen strange problems with later versions of egcs?
