[background] I've been using the ELDK-2.0.2 with the same kernel (2.4.21) and it has been very stable (uptime of ~4 months). I installed the ELDK-2.1.0 and mounted it (using the same kernel) and I'm observing an "Oops" after several minutes (~10 minutes or so).
I'll be digging through the logs for clues. ---- Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 NIP: C000F2DC XER: 00000000 LR: C000F2DC SP: C0170C00 REGS: c0170b50 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted MSR: 00001030 EE: 0 PR: 0 FP: 0 ME: 1 IR/DR: 11 TASK = c016f070[0] 'swapper' Last syscall: 120 last math 00000000 last altivec 00000000 PLB0: bear= 0x00002e28 acr= 0x9b000000 besr= 0x00000000 GPR00: C000F2DC C0170C00 C016F070 0000001B 00001030 00000001 00000020 C01C0000 GPR08: 00000E4F 00000000 00000000 C0170B20 C0170D98 100B21AC 07FA8300 007FFF9C GPR16: 00000000 00000001 007FFF00 FFFFFFFF 00001032 C0170F30 00000000 00000006 GPR24: C0170D68 C01DBA3C 00000000 C01C0000 0001B9FF C0170C38 00000000 C0170C00 Call backtrace: C000F2DC C000F1EC C000FCEC C00DC510 C00DC860 C00DCF74 C00DA7A0 C00DB5CC C00DB720 C00DB110 C00DD664 C00DD7E4 C0004F04 C000376C C00228C8 C0004D04 C0004D2C C00011D0 C0181598 C0000224 Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
