Hello all,
Does anybody have any comments concerning the Alta board with a MIPS 5Kc
running Linux. I hear that Linux modules aren't fully supported in
their reference 2.2.12 kernel. Are there any other known issues with
that kernel -- how about the 2.4.1 kernel? Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Tim Nguyen
Tim,
The kernel 2.2.12 form mips' ftp site has no modules support at all. The
problem may be coming from the binutils bugs that were used to create
the kernel image, which is 2.8.1 which reportedly (at least from our
company) do not produce usable 'insmod'. It is not 5Kc - related stuff,
we have several boards with such processors (including Malta and Atlas)
and all of them exibited module problems with "old" toolchain (binutils
2.8.1 - egcs 1.0.3a - glibc 2.0.6).
Newer kernel 2.4.x is also available from mips' ftp site, but we haven't
checked it out yet.
