Hi Russell
replying this way to avoid your work...
I do understand the problems of not running nine to five..
all my attempts at linux are between 8pm or midnight or later..
BUT.. no e-mail there. though can phone
Phil suggested enabling block char devices.. this got over the problem
with char/selection.c.. it is only used with char devices... but its
still an incorrect piece of code.. FYI
I actually got as far as a zImage or a vmlinux yesterday eve.. BUT
loader suggested it could not understand the zimage compression method,
and vmlinux just froze in early boot. Does the loader have to be elf
aware?..
I can run my rpc with the 2.0.31 (i think) kernel from the may developer cd..
but so far not my cross-compiled 2.1.126.
now.. I still cannot get to a rpc hosted compile environment for 2.1.126..
blow ups left/right/centre in trying to get phil's suggested things running
Is there any way to get a working system with current working compilers
etc for 2.1.126 for riscpc on a disc?..e.g. a single tar-gz on a zip disc?
this would really help. I would even consider the prospect of grabbing
several tens of Mb via the net if this would simplify things...
n.b. i note a considerable difference in speed between redhat 5.1 on i686 and
what we have on the rpc.. wherein lies the main slowness.. is it an
inappropriate cache on the SA, or something more mundane???
Many thanks
John

I wasn't worried about the *odd* day's delay.. it is just that its nice to
actually
get a response from someone wrt the arm port of linux.. so far I've wasted a
great deal of time fighting the system to (so far unsuccessfully) get to the
point where I can compile kernel sources, cross or otherwise, for current
rpc kernels!
