Is anyone else having problems getting a working 2.6.14.7 mipsel kernel? It seems to build easy enough but it appears to hang when Colo passes off to the real kernel. All I get on the console (after the bootloader/colo stuff) is a couple of elf32 lines:
| Code: | elf32: 00080000 - 0031b01f (802e3000) (fffffff.80000000)
elf32: 80080000 (80080000) 2613380t + 118684t |
This system works just fine with a 2.6.13.4 kernel (built with GCC 3.4.4, I think) and I've tried both this kernel's .config and "make cobalt_defconfig" as a basis for a 2.6.14.7 kernel, but no joy. Any suggestions?

hello,
I am running into the same problem. Guess I should have opened a bug for this a few weeks ago...
Regards,
markus
Edit: here we go: Bug #127220
Edit2: could you try out 2.6.15.4? I would do myself, but I'm currently about 100km far away from the machine and rebooting from that distance with the ability to not get back online is no fun... |

Thanks Corsair. Are you using distcc and/or did you rebuild your toolchain as part of the GCC 3.4.5 upgrade?
I thought I upgraded correctly, or at least as per http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml, but now I'm not so positive so I'm going to put this box on a solo tool-chain rebuild just to make sure that isn't the problem. We'll see if that helps.
I guess I should try building a 2.6.14.7 kernel using GCC-3.4.4 too.
This may take a while...

I know what you mean. My RaQ2s are pretty accessible, but I have an offsite RaQ3 that I haven't upgraded from the 2.4 kernel for that very reason.
I'll give the 2.6.15.4 kernel a try, but I'm going to rebuild the GCC-3.4.5 toolchain first and that it should take a while.

Known problem... mips-sources >= 2.6.13.4 is h0rked on Cobalt at last check... but it seems those ebuilds have disappeared, so I'll chase this up.

| Thanks Redhatter and Corsair. FWIW, The 2.6.15.4 kernel builds on GCC 3.4.5 and will boot. We'll see if it has any problems over the long-term. |

Yeah... I just spoke with Kumba... it seems the issue is fixed with 2.6.15.4...
To be honest, I don't run mips-sources these days... at the moment, my Cobalt server is running Linux/MIPS Git + some small patches. The kernel image for 2.6.15.1 is on my site if you're interested.
