I'm trying to build a 2.4.18 for the STMicro STPC. I compiled as 486 and got rid of a lot of exotic stuff. The kernel uncomresses, scans pci, recognized ide interrupts frees initrd memory, looking really good. Then, before it can run linuxrc, it crashes with no error. The first thing linuxrc does is echo Mounting /proc I don't even see that. Thoughts: The ide driver is trying to do dma, which won't work?? Even though the kernel is compiled for 486, some commands may have pentium code ?? wild guess. Loading the kernel is bios stuff. To actually find initrd.gz needs the linux ide driver and something is wrong here ??? Any thoughts? Thanx. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
