Problems with linuxppc_2_4_devel

From: Anders Blomdell <hidden>
Date: 2002-10-10 15:22:28

I'm still unsuccessful with running linux on my prpmc800 card (and my 2600
card as well)

1. The 2600 does its thing up to the
      Uncompressing Linux...done.
      Now booting the kernel
    point, then it changes the console speed to some (yet) undetermined
value, how
    do I change that?

2. The prpmc800 is just quiet (and unresponsive) after
      Network Boot File load in progress... To abort hit <BREAK>

      Bytes Received =&694852, Bytes Loaded =&694852
      Bytes/Second   =&694852, Elapsed Time =1 Second(s)

      Residual-Data Located at: $07EBE4FC

Anybody that has a clue (or a working .config to share?)

Regards

Anders Blomdell

What are you running it in the firmware?  It defaults to 9600 8n1,
unless you pass it another speed (console=ttyS0,38400 for example).

make prpmc800_config

And then fixup
arch/ppc/platforms/prpmc800_setup.c::prpmc800_openpic_initsenses
(iirc, '1' -> IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE.  But grab the
prpmc800 manual and update the IRQ table occordingly) and submit a
patch.
