Then you will either have to move all the modifications needed
for
the PPCHameleon board into their kernel tree (thus creating
something
which again is not the original MV kernel), or have MV provide
a
kernel extended in such way.
That's what I'm expecting to have to do, but unfortunately know where to look for the changes I need to make is difficult.
Yes, and this is your most pressing problem. When the
parameters
passed to the Linux kernel are correct you will at least get
some
boot messages, and see where the kernel crashes then (which it
will
do).
Well, I think I *have* matched up the two structures, but we're still not seeing anything. Where can I put breakpoints in the kernel to try to work out why we're not getting any boot messages?
I think you can use another kernel tree (like that from our
CVS
server) without problems. If you feel you must move our patches
into
the MV tree please feel free to do so - all the history and
comments
are available for free on our CVS server. You can extract the
patches
that are relevant for the PPChameleon board and try applying them
to
the MV tree - I don't expect any serious problems there.
At the risk of asking newbie questions, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks again for all the help so far, it's much appreciated.
