Subject: Kernel building

Hi... good morning, or maybe it's good evening for you.
My keyboard and VGA converters are late getting to me. It's difficult to
get a good idea of what's really running on the system without them. I can
however build and boot CDs. I have problems in that area. I can build Bill
Gatliff's distribution with no problem. Burns OK and boots up. Now I want
to be able to build using the latest releases from the CVS tree so that I
can use the new drivers (microphone, etc). What I did is as follows: 1..
Build Bill's toolchain, kernel, initial RD just like instructed 2.. Burn
Bill's image just to test it
3.. Download a stock 2.4.18 kernel
4.. Download CVS linuxSH kernel patches labeled linux-2.4-branch
5.. Perform treelink.sh using LinuxSH tree
6.. Perform treelink.sh using linux-dc tree
7.. Copied .config from Bill's distribution as a template. I've also used
other people's .config file with no luck. 8.. Symbolically link my newly
downloaded, patched tree into Bill's tree. (linked 'kernel' to the source
tree) 9.. AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE?? - I have to modify the Makefile in
kernel/arch/sh to remove the "-mnoimplicit-fp" switch since Bill's toolchain
is a little old 10.. Did a make clean dep zImage
11.. Followed the normal steps I take making Bill's CD (compress initrd,
scramble image, etc..) 12.. Burn CD
13.. Boot in DC. I get the initial Logo, SEGA splash screen. And then the
system resets itself.
So what could I be doing wrong? Do you have a similar set up?
Perhaps my down-rev toolchain is causing some problems?
I have a hard time believing that the CVS tree for linux-dc has problems.
Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated. If you think it's a
good idea, I can put this one out to the mailing list and see if anyone else
has had this problem.
Thanks
Mike
