Greetings:
I just built a brand new kernel(2.4.18) for the PPC 405Gp, and I discovered
something that does
not make sense to me.
In setup.c / early_setup:
/* First zero the BSS -- use memset, some arches don't have
* caches on yet */
memset_io(PTRRELOC(&__bss_start), 0, &_end - &__bss_start);
>From System.map:
c0113000 A __bss_start
c0113000 A __chrp_begin
c0113000 A __chrp_end
c0113000 A __init_end
c0113000 A __openfirmware_begin
c0113000 A __openfirmware_end
c0113000 A __pmac_begin
c0113000 A __pmac_end
c0113000 A __prep_begin
c0113000 A __prep_end

V
c013bc40 B ipv4_config
c013bc4c B unix_socket_table
c013c050 A _end
The symbol _end does not come after the bss - it is at the end of the
kernel, so the memset gets an exception.
It also looks like there is no _bss at all -
Help?
Do I hack the heck out of the file, or is there a better way?
I did a:
make mrproper
make dep
make pImage
Thanks
Jerry
