RE: Bug#711135: Re: compiling a bootable kernel for ia64 (itanium2, mckinley, rx2620)
Hi Jason. That was close – I was really about to send the zx6000 onto the tech recycle. The following is all I get coming out from the console (Serial A, since the zx6000 does not have a management card / iLO). After the initrd line shows, a good 5 seconds pass. Then the front panel becomes all red and the cryptic modem-style sounds come out. I’ve wondered about the health of both my ELILO and Kernel, but my rx2660 boots fine with the exact the same two.

It might even be in our case a strange/buggy behavior caused by old firmware for an otherwise correct kernel binary code (or, of course, the code might be not correct). Perhaps, there is a difference between yours and ours machines: root@rx2620:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor : GenuineIntel arch : IA-64 family : 31 model : 2 model name : Madison up to 9M cache revision : 1 archrev: 0 features : branchlong cpu number : 0 cpu regs : 4 cpu MHz: 1600.021 itc MHz: 1600.021752 BogoMIPS : 2390.01 siblings : 1 physical id: 0 processor : 1 vendor : GenuineIntel arch : IA-64 family : 31 model : 2 model name : Madison up to 9M cache revision : 1 archrev: 0 features : branchlong cpu number : 0 cpu regs : 4 cpu MHz: 1600.021 itc MHz: 1600.021752 BogoMIPS : 2390.01 siblings : 1 physical id: 1 root@rx2620:~# It looks like ours has 2 Madison CPUs (if we are to trust this cpuinfo), which are older than your Montecito ones. [this one]: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/linux-image-3.2.0-4-mckinley So far, we've done a number of attempts to compile and boot a kernel (I'm going to post the details and the kernels soon), and my conclusion so far is that the only affecting factor is the version of gcc (even not -O1 vs -Os/-O2). gcc <= 4.5.3 produces a bootable kernel (as for linux-image-3.2.0-4-mckinley, gcc 4.4.7 from wheezy and gcc 4.5.3 from snapshots produced a bootable one in my experiments); gcc > = 4.6.3 produces a non-bootable kernel. So this already gives an initial hypothesis about the solution to 1): To compile a bootable kernel for this machine, use gcc <= 4.5.3.
