Re: Problems with mount system call -- cannot mount procfs!

Thanks Bhupi,

I checked out my ppcboot early_init.S and the ppcboot startup files.
In ppcboot-1.1.4/cpu/mpc824x/start.S

#endif /* CONFIG_MUSENKI */


I remove this code with an ifdef:

#if !defined(CONFIG_MUSENKI) && !defined(CONFIG_BMW)

And then rebuilt and boot linux-2.4.19-rc3 (latest rsync from mvista.com yesterday)!
Does the setup code above work on Sandpoint, or another MPC824x system?
