??: Some version different

??: Some version different

[FCG WANG Baohua]

Dear Denk:
  First I many thanks for your quick reply for my every silly question.  =
The freeze "transferring control to linux" question is sloved.
  It is the "r3" register data wrong transfer from ppcboot  to kernel. I =
don't know why. very strange. !!!
  The CONFIG_HD860 cannot be compiled in kernel. I don't know either.  =
There is no error or warring during config and make.
   I add the init code of bdinfo struct in arch/ppc/kernel/m8xx_setup.c =
platform_init() function. I filled the stuct  __as list by "bdi" =
command.
   Then the console can work now.=20
   But there is another question:
   It always print the "ttyS0 at 0x0280 is on SMC1 using BRGSerial =
driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with no serial options enabled"
                                    or "Serial driver version 5.05c =
(2001-07-08) with no serial options enabled"
 =20
   Then "Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11" and stopped.
=20
  How is the "with no serial options enabled" ? is it need any config =
with "make menuconfig" ?
 =20

THe traball is a snapshot from the linuxppc_2_4_devel CVS  tree  (for
ELDK  3.1.1  the  date  of  the  snapshot  is  2005-03-06  or CVS tag
LABEL_2005_03_06_0100).

PPCBoot 0.9.2 and U-Boot 1.1.2 are about 4 years apart. This is  like
comparing Linux kernel versions 2.0 with 2.6 ....

Both versions were perfectly  capable  of  booting  a  working  Linux
kernel. I don't know the MV toolchain, but I guess it's working fine,
too.  So my guess is that it's your port of the Linux kernel which is
broken.

Your port of the Linux kernel is broken.  Probably  you  made  errors
when changing the configure scripts and/or Makefiles.

You cannot do that. It does not work.

The _res pointer can be used for that; see the existing driver sources.

This depends on how your hardware and your port of Linux support such
a feature. I cannot answer such a question.

I'm sure that PPCBoot passes a valid pointer. If you  don;t  see  the
expected  data,  then  you  should probably go back to square one and
read the FAQ:

There is a bug (at least one) n your modifications to the Linux kernel.

I don't know your hardware.
I don't know why you are using  obsolete  versions  of  the  software
(like PPCBoot) for any current work.
I don't know which modifications you made to U-Boot to make it  work
on your hardware, or if these modifications are working at all.
I don't know which modifications you made to Linux.

I cannot help you. Hire an expert.

Wolfgang Denk
