Hi! I hope someone is out there that can help me work though this process ;-) I have a custome mips board that currently runs CE. I would like to make it stop doing that and have it boot a linux kernel. It has pretty much of the shelf components: r4300, 8MB flash, S3trio64 video, AMD PCNET enet controller, and something called a SuperIO controler for ISA/serial/parallel,floppy,uaart,pcmcia.... I have the physical address mappings for these components, but I'm having trouble even getting that far. just as a test I wanted to try and build a kernel to see how far it got. The NVRAM on this device uses tftp or nfs to download a boot image, so I'm hoping that if I feed it a kernel I can at least get an idea of how much work will have to be done. I downloaded 2.1.131 src and went through make config, make dep;make clean; and when I do a make, I get the following error: mipsel-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -g -mcpu=r4300 -mips2 -pipe -c -o init/main.o init/main.c cc1: bad value (r4300) for -mcpu= switch In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/net.h:21, which of course produces a lot of other errors and the compile eventually fails. Can anyone give pointers on what might be wrong, and/or advice on how to begin a porting project like this? thanks Ryan Sweet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
