Hello,
I'm trying to build a T2 image from SVN trunk (the "stable" versions
I've tried all have problems pulling down the upstream source files)
and run it under Qemu 0.8.2.
Currently, what I build crashes right after Grub launches the kernel,
with the message:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
I know this is a bug in my version of Qemu. However, I am lazy and
don't really want upgrade it yet. :-P
My understanding is that the older Linux kernels aren't affected by
this bug. Short of hacking any configuration files just yet, is there
an existing build target for T2 I can select that uses a 2.4.x kernel?
While we have a linux24 package it is not meant for general purpose use
as our initramfs is no longer compatible with it - patches to make our
initrd creation 2.4 compatible are welcome. The linux24 package is more
meant for resource limited embedded setups.
Btw. I use linux26 and qemu for years and did not yet a problem so far,
this really should work, maybe it's time to update to a less broken Qemu
if you already think your Qemu is the culprit.
While I'm posting, the glibc target currently in SVN (I updated a
little over three hours ago) doesn't seem to build when I select i386
processor optimizations. It's fine if I select i486 or higher.
Yes, this is known. The glibc maintainers only care about what RedHat
ships, which is also why we still have a older glibc as the new one breaks
even more embedded targets :-(
As i386 glibc does not build without additional patchery we default to
486 in the Config and only have the i386 choice for embedded people
using dietlibc or uclibc.
(Yes, we could further annotate the Config stuff, but we did not wanted
to over-complicate matters, and did not expect too many people to choose
i386 intentionally.)
Yours,
