hello;
i was wondering if anyone else was working
on the alpha platform.
i have an alpha pc164, 500mhz, etc.
i have redhat-6.2 for alpha installed.
i have downloaded the linux-2.4.0-test1 and
linux-2.4.0-test9 kernels from www.kernel.org.
i have downloaded rtlinux-3.0-pre8.tar.gz
from fsmlabs.com.
i have patched rtlinux-3.0-pre8 files
rtlinux-3.0/drivers/mbuff/kvmem.h &
rtlinux-3.0/drivers/mbuff/kvmem.c
to work with linux-2.4.0-test9.
i had to hand patch several of the
linux-2.4.0-test9 source files but
several of the patches were no longer
required.
there are errors in the patches applied
by both kernel_patch-2.2 & kernel_patch-2.4.
the patched files:
arch/i386/config.in
arch/alpha/config.in
arch/ppc/config.in
all have the same error.
instead of a single equal sign '=' there
are two equal signs '=='.
edit the config.in files and search for the
two equal signs and delete one of them.
i have tested these patches and mbuff works
rather well.
i am able to compile rtlinux-3.0-pre8 with
linux-2.4.0-test1 however whenever rtl.o
is insmod the alpha locks right up.
i am able to compile rtlinux-3.0-pre8 with
linux-2.4.0-test4 however whenever rtl.o
is insmod the alpha locks right up.
there are still several places in the examples
directory that have warnings about casting a
pointer to an integer of the wrong size. i still
need to look at those. but the examples do not
really matter if i cannot insmod the rtl.o
module without the alpha locking up.
