Subject: can't boot mpc5200, powerpc: Enable AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:51:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e4733910807251451s623b87cetcf7ed5ff6a12f012@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I've lost my ability to boot on the mpc5200. Reverting this patch fixes it.
powerpc: Enable AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector
9115d13453dee22473a1e8cacc90a8d64a9c4bc9
commit 9115d13453dee22473a1e8cacc90a8d64a9c4bc9
Author: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com>

powerpc: Enable AT_BASE_PLATFORM aux vector
Stash the first platform string matched by identify_cpu() in
powerpc_base_platform, and supply that to the ELF loader for the value
of AT_BASE_PLATFORM.
