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 :-( Wolfgang -- Phone: (+49)-89-95720-110 Fax: (+49)-89-95720-112 wd@denx.muc.de Office: (+49)-89-722-27328 Wolfgang.Denk@ICN.Siemens.DE Quote from the Boss...
