Hi, I'm new to the list. I spent some time this morning porting
the linux-sh and linux-sh-dc kernel trees up to
linux-2.4.20-pre10. The ports were not especially difficult and
the only place that required any violence was the sh watchdog
driver, which had some conflicts vs the kernel version. I've
given it a quick try (replacing boot/vmlinux in
dreamcast-linux-010605 and burning a CD), but when ecos tries to
load it, it gives me:
RedBoot> load -v /boot/vmlinux
load_elf_image_aborted: seek: attempt to seek backwards"
Suggestions on how to track down why ecos refuses to load the
kernel image?
I used the sh toolchain from
ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/dodes/debian/
but I don't have a lot of confidence in gcc 3.0.3 -- I've had
some bad luck with gcc 3.0 in general, so it may very well be the
toolchain. dunno. What is the recommended toolchain for
Dreamcast/SH4 kernel hacking? gcc 3.2 / binutils 2.12.1?
For the curious (or the helpful), my patches for 2.4.20-pre10
can be found here:
