Hi everyone,
  I'm trying to run kernel 2.5 on Motorola MVME5100 and, after the sti
istruction in start_kernel, the kernel hangs due to a spurious

interrupt.

(Bogus interrupt -1)
Is this a well-known problem also in other ports ? or have

anyone of you a

suggestion to solve this ?

If you are using the default openpic initsenses in prep_pci.c then you
might see this problem since MPIC input 1 now has the 550 UART.  You'll
need to change the initsenses since the edge triggered ECC interrupt
used to be on input 1 on the older boards.

I've started working on MCPN765 port, since I think MVME5100 is an MCPN765
with a VME Bridge and without an ISA bridge, so I think the senses of
interrupt are correct because the 5100 and the 765 manual page related to
the interrupt senses is exactly the same (or it is a cut&paste error ??? :))
However this problem, like many other I've encountered, are all due to a bad
cross-compiler :(. I start working today with a good environment after a
month of nightmares !

Ok, I finally got time today to powerup the 5100 that's been laying
around here.  I just pushed the port to the linuxppc_2_5 tree.
Hopefully this saves some effort for others.

Very great work !!!

I have found a little bug in arch/ppc/boot/pp3/Makefile:
the rule to make zImage.initrd miss the -pbp option in the mkprep
invocation.

I've seen that in the make menuconfig, selecting the MVME5100, does not
display the possibility to specify the default kernel command line. Don't
you think this is an useful option ?

Bye.
Stefano.
