I am trying to build a development system for it. It currently loads a cross compiled kernel and kicks out messages via the first serial port, no vga. It mounts the root fs via nfs and tries to exec /sbin/init. At this point the system appears to hang. If I remove /sbin/init from the nfs root the kernel panics as expected, so I assume root is mounted ok. I have tried to build a minimum root filesystem which contains /dev/console, /dev/ttyS0 and a statically linked /sbin/init. The init just does a printf but I do not see this message. Does anyone know it this should work ? Initially I tried to build a root filesystem from files on a Mac Clone running Yellow Dog Linux. I believe this has a PPC 604e processor. Should this systems binaries/libraries run on the 440GP ? Can I expect a statically linked executable, made on the Mac, to run on the 440GP? Many Thanks Simon. __________________________ Simon Haynes - Baydel Phone : 44 (0) 1372 378811 Email : simon@baydel.com __________________________
