[linuxsh-dev] Booting problems with 2.4.4

[Dustin M. <du...@se...>]

I'm having some trouble with the 2.4.4 kernel that didn't exist under
previous kernel versions.  When the kernel begins executing user space
commands, immediately after mounting the initial ramdisk, I get stuck in an
infinite loop of data address exceptions (exception code 0xE0).  At first I
thought it may be devfs or or something similar, but those options have been
disabled and the same problem occurs.  Likewise I rebuilt all the user space
stuff with the 2.4.4 kernel headers.  I've tried both the Big Sur port and
just the "Bare CPU" target with essentially nothing in the kernel.  Has
anyone else been experiencing similar problems with 2.4.4 or know what the
problem may be?

Dustin.
