You might remember I was having some trouble with 2.1 kernels on my A5000 a month or so back. I just had another go at this. It seems that at least part of the problem was due to being out of memory. Arranging for the kernel to install swap-space before launching init now allows me to boot with init=/bin/ash and run most simple binaries. If I let the real init start then it still dies with address exceptions all over the place. Something seems to be slightly amiss with the floppy driver as well. Alt-ScrollLock reports `FIQs: off' most of the time which looks a bit suspicious. I haven't tried to track this down yet though. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
