I am experiencing this with Cort's current development kernel tree. Based on the previous posting you had in theory all I needed to do was just grab a fresh kernel which I did this morning. The same problem surfaced. So something is definately wrong with the Cort's 2.4.0-test5 tree. I took a gander at elf.h. The only change I see is 2.3.99-pre9 #define elf_check_arch(x) ((x) == EM_PPC) 2.4.0-test5-Cort #define elf_check_arch(x) ((x)->e_machine == EM_PPC) This appearantly is used 3 times fs/binfmt_elf.c 2.3.99-pre9 if (!elf_check_arch(interp_elf_ex->e_machine)) 2.4.0-test5-Cort if (!elf_check_arch(&elf_ex)) So while the code changed it would appear to be consistant at least.... Guess I'll have to keep digging! > I'm curious what your reason was for getting this. Me too! Regards, Tom -- Tom Gall - PowerPC Linux Team "Where's the ka-boom?
