Re: Problem installing debian ARM on nslu2

I thought armel implied EABI, but I notice that the ads installer image seems to require an OABI-capable kernel. It doesn't appear to work with an EABI-only kernel.

I rebuilt the wpkg kernel, to turn on things like NFS and ramdisks. I used a gcc-4.2.1 kernel constructed with crosstool-ng. I used the ads initrd image, downloading it as a ramdisk. Installation-wise, there weren't any significant issues. So I get the runtime installed fine, which naturally includes a bunch of network traffic to download the packages, etc. But after a restart the system I get seemingly-random oopses that seem related to incoming network packets. If I use the debian runtime, the OOPS happens every kernel boot. If I use NFS root, no oopses. Very strange... b.g. -- Bill Gatliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Missing drivers for USB Ethernet adapters
I'm using as a gateway/router an NSLU2 running Debian and with an USB Ethernet adapter attached, and it works very well. Thanks! However, I noticed that in the most recent kernel package for IXP4xx in unstable (linux-image-2.6.24-1-ixp4xx) the drivers for many USB Ethernet adapters which used to be located in the directory /lib/modules/kvers/kernel/drivers/net/usb seem to be missing. I believe linux-image-2.6.22-3-ixp4xx is the latest kernel package for IXP4xx where these drivers are included. Somebody knows the reason for this or if there's any chance that the drivers might get included again? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Debian on N4100
Guys: My n4100 kernel is still OOPSing at network-related locations. I'm stumped. The kernel boots and otherwise runs fine, and you can even ping it (both from and to the target).
