I agree with what hs been said except for one thing use tight VNC I have found it to be faster than the original VNC. It is well supported and works very well the web site is www.tightvnc.com it is still open source. -Original Message- From: Jerry Van Baren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is much more administration to a development machine than a server. You also have to know how to restart dead tasks. Find out why you keep running out of message queues. Cope with funny sockets. I'm a device driver developer who also looks after the administration. We were a window shop

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. Our boards have 32MB of RAM located at 0. We have placed IMMR at 0xfa20. The address of 0xc000 is a virtual address it does not have to have any relation to a physical address this is done by the memory manager. The only constant is that the

I can tell you now the mapping between physical and virtual not as important as you make out. I have Linux running on a board I described to you and there is no RAM mapped at 0xc000. I suggest you read your chip manual more carefully. In my 860 PowerQUICC Users manual chapters 13,14 and 16.

I haven't checked the actual sources, but I bet 'va_to_pte' is _not_ a symbol... it is probably either an "inline" function so the compiler inserts the function's code everywhere it is "called" (saves the overhead of the call and return with associated stack pushing and popping). When you try to

Prakash, Try compiling your hello.c program with the -Bstatic flag. That will eliminate the need to load libraries, and should show if there are other problems. If that works OK then we can focus on why your library loading is failing. Regards, Daris Nevil Prakash kanthi said: > > Hi FOlks,

OK, the source module was pointed out to me (arch/ppc/mm/fault.c). The problem is that Shiv is targeting the 8260, but va_to_pte() is only defined for 8xx or CONFIG_GT64260_ETH. Shiv doesn't say if he has CONFIG_GT64260_ETH defined, I'm guessing not. The code in question: #if defined(CONFIG_8x
