RE: Upgrading to kernel 2.4.6 with old init program

Thanks for your help. The new ld.so.1 fixed the problem. I am thinking that
I should rebuild the code with the latest libraries so that we don't have to
have both versions available. Is there an ftp site where I can get the
sources for all of the executables that you need in a ramdisk?

Thanks again,

I am upgrading my Linux kernel from 2.2.13 to 2.4.6 on an MPC823. When the

a
usage error for ld.so and then a kernel panic. It looks like it is
attempting to run ld.so. I am still using an old ramdisk with old versions
of executables that ran successfully on Linux 2.2.13. Have the file
formats
changed somehow? Do I need to get the source for the executables and
rebuild
them with the latest libraries? If so, where can I get them?
This souns as if you are still running code based on  libc-1.99.  You
need a modified version of /lib/ld.so.1 then. There is one on our FTP
server,  AFAIR  in  ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/ld.so* (or
maybe in the "patches" directory?).
