Re: Init hangs

In message [off-list ref] you wrote:

This could also be a floating point issue.  Most code compiled against
libc will try to "reset" the floating point state upon startup.  This
will cause a fault if you do not have a kernel floating point emulator

No, this has nothing to do with it.

First, Marco wrote that he is working on a 8270 processor which has a
FPU, so FP issues should not play a role here.

Second, he mentioned that he was using the ELDK which takes  care  of
using soft-float on processors without a MMU.


Thanks.

I stand corrected ;)  Thanks Dan and Wolfgang.  I'm still a ppc newbie,
not yet familiar with all of the different sub-architecture features and
options, sorry :(

I had "init troubles" on the 44x and it had turned out to be FP issue
(my init for testing is actually busybox, so it kind of makes sense).

Without an MMU?  Really? :-)  Just kidding.  I'm just glad I'm
not the only one that types stuff like that once in a while.
