Ensure you are using the latest 2_4_devel kernel and Abatron firmware. We have been developing something that will work better for Linux, with less overhead and more flexibility on both sides. It was required due to 2.4.x page table changes, and I finally got the Linux part of it checked in. > 4. set a break at start_kernel (breaking on _start didn't work at all). That's because _start isn't a virtual address as indicated in the vmlinux symbol table. Set a hard breakpoint at zero if you must stop there. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
