Hello, on a PPC 855T with fec-ethernet and Linux 2.4.4 (version of denx) I get sometimes an oops message in ip_route_input() because of accessing rt_hash_table, when an ethernet package is received and just before the structure rt_hash_table in function ip_rt_init() is half initialized.
On the console there is the following output: ... eth0: FEC ENET Version 0.2, FEC irq 3, MII irq 6, addr 00:06:71:01:02:03 RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 eth0: Phy @ 0x1f, type AM79C874 (0x0022561b) ... NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0 IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP, IGMP Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 ... This can be reproduced easier with "arp -s .." and "ping -f". The problem is that interrupts of ethernet are enabled before IP-stack is initialized. What is the best way to fix this? Thanks, Gunnar ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
