2.4.17

From: Ken T. <ke...@we...> - 2002-01-13 12:53:51

Hello,

2.4.17 (Thanks Roman) won't boot for me, how about you ?

Stops after somewhere after console_init in init/main.

I think it gets to sti() and hangs.

mode : xres=800, yres=600, bpp=16
APUS: BATs=0, BUS=67MHz, RAM=70ns, PCI bridge=0
time_init: decrementer frequency = 16.503085 MHz
NEXT : console_init();
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
NEXT : init_modules();
NEXT : if (prof_shift) {
NEXT : kmem_cache_init();
NEXT : sti();

hi,

> 2.4.17 (Thanks Roman) won't boot for me, how about you ?


havent tried it, but thanks for the heads-up!

and its reminds me of something i was supposed to post
here as soon as i came back from the christmas break.


recall that my machine wouldnt boot with the newest
home compiled kernel....it would freeze just at the IDE
part?  I was advised to try the  CVS compiles that are
on the APUS site (unlinked to).  

2.4.13 2001-10-30 works. the next one, 2.4.15 doesnt.

something was done between those two kernels which stops
it working (thats why my 2.4.15 CVS local copy makes kernels
that dont work)
 

if this info can lead anyone to the quick answer, it'd be most
appreciated (recently all my free time has been sucked into a void :-()

I've not tried any of the precompiled kernels you mention, but every
locally compiled (cvs) kernel except the current 2.4.17 has worked for me,
no problems with IDE.

2.4.16 Doesn't like HFS mounted CDs

From: Adam K. <ako...@co...> - 2002-01-16 20:46:55

Hi,

I can run 2.4.16, but it has heartburn over mounting an HFS CD like LinucPPC
2000.  The machine spews up a bunch of registers and stuff.

I think HFS support is known to be broken in 2.4 anywhere.

:-) ah, but different hardware 8-)


okay...I had some time to play/update yesterday..and heres what I'm finding

2.4.13  (20011030) works.   I dont have this in CVS anymore so cant play further

2.4.15   doesnt work. it freezes according to dmesg JUST when I'd expect
         to see the two output lines of

ide0 at 80da0000 irq 0x0000000c
ide1 at 80da1000 irq 0x0000000c (shared with ide0)

these two lines dont appear at all (they do on <=2.4.13)

2.4.17   well, this is now my CVS copy.... this one is even less alive.
         It gets as far as the line

Console: colour dummy device 80x25

and then thats it.  According to my other kernels I should then get
the 'Calibrating delay loop.... blah blah BogoMIPS'

so, where in the kernel is this one sticking? And where are those ide lines
from 2.4.15 hiding in the init?

Thanks

Alan

That's how it was but Roman just did some fixes and its running again.

Hi,

I got 2.4.17 from cvs today and it compiled and booted.  It spit up some
numbers around the point in time where it is doing the IDE stuff and hung up
the first time.  The second time I booted it ran.

If it hangs, I'm interested in these numbers!

Also for me it has the same problem...

2.4.16 kernel works.

It should work again. Sorry, it took a bit longer than it really had
too. I tried to get of some the spurious interrupts, but no luck so
far...
