Thread: [linuxsh-dev] System reset while INIT processing

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello all, today I desperately need someone's help (as usual;-)

I've checked out CVS kernel last night (before Niibe-san updated it to
2.4.7-pre5/6). Today I've made modifications to it to run on our custom
board. It booted, but somehow, system is reset while INIT process.

I have applied changes to the source for irq, machvec, CompactFlash
handling only. I haven't applied ext3 and RTLinux patch yet.

System reset occurs at random location of INIT process. Sometimes I can
see several lines of output from rc.sysinit. Sometimes I can see nothing
after "Freeing unused kernel memory" message from kernel, just reset
happens.

If I make /sbin/init as link to /bin/bash, sometimes I can see bash
prompt and type some command, but sometimes system resets before that.

Our custom board has 32MB SRAM in area 2, CompactFlash in area 5.

With 2.4.5 kernel and similar modifications, our custom board can run
without problem.

I've tried same kernel on SolutionEngine 7750S. It has no problem like
this.

Can anybody suggest me something/some place to look into? I can't think
of anything how to nail down this problem now.

For reference, I've attached patch for CompactFlash handling. This is
basically the same as what I've posted before, but uses newly renamed
p3_ioremap(). This one or "irq_maskreg" patch I've posted before may be
the source of this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
