Linux 2.6.11.5 on R3912 problems

[Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I have now been trying to get Linux 2.6.11.5 (built
with gcc 3.3.3 and binutils 2.15.91.0.2) up and
running on my Helio PDA, a MIPS R3912 based ASSP (the
emulator to be exact) and have been stuck at the last
step for a while now :-(. 

The kernel runs up fine, the problem starts when init
is started. Bellow is my kernel log up to freeing
init.

V nasty hack. The Emulator doesn't report which subset

I have had to write a UART driver so I thought the
problem might be with that so I put lots of debug in
tty layer, serial_core and my driver to see what was
going on. After doing this and changing the interrupt
handler (int-handler.S) I saw the echo that I had put
in my inittab.
So I started to remove debug and found it stopped
working. The strange thing is that it stops before it
gets as far as sending the echo from inittab.
If I don?t have enough debug the kernel stops just
before printing out:

Algorithmics/MIPS FPU Emulator v1.5

When I connect to the emulator with GDB and look at
the registers I find the CPU is still running and is
in cpu_idle.
I wondered if it might be a timer/task scheduler
related problem but as it gets passed the bogomips
calculation the timer must be working.

Any help would be great as I have been stuck here for
a while.

Many Thanks,

Mark
