Linux on Cogent CSB281?

From: William A. Gatliff <hidden>

Guys:


Does anyone have any linux-2.4.x running on a Cogent CSB281?

I would love to have a parallel solution to mine to look at.  My
kernel (mv's -dev tree, 2.4.21-pre4) boots and runs off a ramdisk
mostly fine, but crashes in ways that make me suspect a memory
controller problem.

I'm only interested in the kernel itself, I don't care at the moment
about PCI or anything else.  I'll sort through those problems (and
contribute patches if anyone else is interested) once I have the
kernel itself running solid.


Thanks!


b.g.

What sort of strange things do you see?  Can you duplicate them,
or are they random?

I've seen this board act weirdly running eCos as well.  I don't
have a Linux kernel for this board, but I'd be glad to try yours
just to see if the behavior is consistent across boards.
