Re: MBX860: How to boot with initrd ?

In message [off-list ref] you write:

You mean ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/gary/redhat/RPMS/ppc/egcs*-1.1*ppc.rpm ?

They don't work for me - same result: no problems during compilation,
but the kernel hangs.

So far the only reliably working version of EGCS for me is the one in
linuxppc-R4 :-(
Almost all the kernels I compile are with this version of egcs without
any problem... They work just fine. Maybe egcs breaks something specific
to your machine ? Are you using PReP or PowerMac ?
I've run some verification tests with  above  packages  and  my  home
built  cross  compiler  based  on egcs-1.1.1: the plain MBX860 kernel
boots fine, but it hangs as soon as I  try  to  use  initrd  as  root
device.

So better be careful when you use these new compilers :-(
