Hi:

Hmmmm... Well, I remember when I got to this point it took a week or so to
get the bash prompt to actually come out.  It was rather irritating being
95% of the way and stumped.  Try this, since bash is the first real process
that runs it really stresses the board and the memory timings, etc.  Make
sure that the libraries are being loaded and it isn't hanging half-way.  Try
modifying fs/namei.c and put a printk at the top of open_namei to print the
pathname.... that should dump which files are being loaded... email me the
results of that.

I added printk() in open_namie(), the output is:

pathname:/dev/conle
pathname:/sbin/init
pathname:/etc/init
pathname:/bin/initstarting /bin/sh...

pathname:/bin/sh
pathname:/lib/ld.so.1
pathname:/etc/ld.so.preload
pathname:/etc/ld.so.cache
pathname:/lib/libtermcap.so.2
pathname:/lib/libdl.so.2
pathname:/lib/libc.so.6

Is that all right?
Another question, I don't have a PowerPC box, I build Linux on a x86 box
with cross compile environment, can I make a ramdisk? The ramdisk I am
using
is a little large, I want to make a smaller one.

Thanks!

Hi Jason:

I am sorry that another problem appeared.
After the /bin/sh ran, I can't see anything from console.
I open the compile switch "SERIAL_DEBUG_INTR" in uart.c,
then I can see the following message on console:

THRE...rs_interrupt_single(0, 2)...end.
THRE...rs_interrupt_single(0, 2)...end.
.
.
.

It means that the transmit interrupt is triggered, right?
But why I can't see anything?
And can you tell me that when shell outputs message to console,
which function it uses in uart.c? I think it should be
rs_8xx_write(), right? But I found that this function was not
called before interrupt happened.

Thanks!

I'm glad to hear you resolved your problem.  If I can lend you any other
assistance, let me know, I have gone all the way through porting the

to a custom 860 board now and are familiar with solutions to some

stumbling

blocks.

Hi Jason:

Thanks for your attention!
I found the problem in uart.c, the BRG is setup incorrectly.
I have resolved the problem.
Now, I can see message from console port.

Thanks.
