Hi,all I was trying to port Linux on a 386EX based embedded board and stucked in getting a working busybox shell. I investigate many tty code. After many observation, I noticed that when the scheduler jumps to idle task, everything stops. No interrupt, nothing. Just because of "default_idle" which calls "hlt" instruction. I know kernel checks hlt during bootup sequence, but I commented that code. Because my cpu hlt problematic. It really halts !
As a result, that little "hlt" instruction caused me many hours. Giving "no-hlt" at the commandline is what you have to do. Have a nice day ... _lvnd_ (^_^) _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
