Yeah, that's the latest MIPS processor ...

Reason is dirt rotten old or missconfigured kernel.  Run a kernel with
fpu emulator enabled.

Not related to this message.  You also didn't say at all what hardware
you're running on.

eepro100 is successfully being used in at least one MIPS system.

porting lmbench test-suit from intel to mips platform.

2001-03-27 Thread Vikash Kumar

linux kernel- 2.2.12
processor - pentirum III, 64 MB RAM, 667MHz.
lmbench test suit   -   used to test the memory bandwidth and latency
measurement for a system. downloaded from : http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/
 I downloaded and ran this lmbench test suit successfully on intel i386
platform and i got the result.
Then i installed cross-compiler ( egfcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm and
binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm ) in my intel box for mips platform.
After compiling the suit in intel box ; when i run the test (on mips
platform) the system hangs and the message appears " Setting flush to zero
for  "..
this message is comming from traps.c file in the kernel.
could u please let me know..
1. The reason for this message and why the mips system hangs up.
2. Is there any place from where i could get this lmbench test suite
precompiled binary for mips-platform directly.
3. Is there any site where test suites for testing various drivers are
present for MIPS platform. test suite for
network driver(eepro100- 82559) , flash , ide.
thanks in advance
vikash
