(last > working is still 2.5.30). OK, hmm. I've got some better ideas then. It sounds like the code to have puts show up on VGA isn't selected/compiled in. Or, there's still some other problem wrt the OF transition code. Just having a serial console selected still doesn't give output however, right? > another issue here: i was finally able to cross-compile 2.5.x / 2.6.x > kernels (on x86). i tried to compile kernels from 2.5.21 on with > "allnoconfig" (was introduced in 2.5.21). only 2.5.30 can be built, all > other attempts to build "zImage" fail...(still compiling 2.5.6x)... > (full logs of builds available...) The simple answer is, don't use allnoconfig :). Do a 'make common_defconfig' and then from there turn off stuff you don't need. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
