Thank you for the advice. Now I have been able to insert instructions to display a number on an attached display which means that I can now see that the code runs until the file head_4xx.S in the line where the comment is "Now turn on the MMU for real" and then calls start_kernel by way of an rfi instruction. The processor then ends up in the Instruction storage exception where I have placed another write to the display. Do you have any idea how to find out what happened here? cheers Peter On 9/12/06, Andrei Konovalov wrote: > > > "console=ttyS0" (not "/dev/ttyS0" BTW) is for 16x50 compatible UART. > UartLite needs something like "console=ttl0". > >
