after some further narrowing of kernel config, it appears that 'CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y' is causing the kernel to become unbootable with maverick's 32bit toolchain. unsetting this parameter produces a bootable kernel on maverick. again, lucid toolchain produces bootable kernels with or without 'CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y'.
so this is what's causing it in the kernel config. according to LKDDB, this parameter does: 'The kernel is linked as a position-independent executable (PIE) and contains dynamic relocations which are processed early in the bootup process.' i'm able to reproduce this consistently now, by toggling CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on and off in kernel compiles. thanks, -matt -- maverick toolchain producing unbootable (hanging) kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
