Hi, i tried to boot the current (unstable) Debian kernel (2.4.18-r4k-ip22) and get the infamous hangs on my Indy at various stages, but very early, during boot. ARCH: SGI-IP22 PROMLIB: ARC firmware Version 1 Revision 10 CPU: MIPS-R4600 FPU<MIPS-R4600FPC> ICACHE DCACHE CPU revision is: 00002010
That's V1.7
Does this machine suffer from the V1.7 problems, as well? Where can i find the current patch?
I've send out some patches some time ago, search for them in list archives. However, I was told that this CPU is quite broken, and that it is more-or-less unacceptable to import the changes I send around. When I'm a bit more experienced with this special MIPS CPU, I'll probably go and implement it in the way Maciej told... For now, try the old patch, or fetch a new CPU:-) MfG, JBG -- - Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf für - einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger Gegen Zensur im Internet Jan-Benedict Glaw . jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 -- New APT-Proxy written in shell script -- http://lug-owl.de/~jbglaw/software/ap2/
