Re: init hang after upgrading ARM-Linux toolchain

Hi,

I'm using a 2.6.16 kernel on an AT91 ARM board.  With all the positive
reports recently of people using gcc-4/EABI/NTPL, I decided to make a
clean break and try my luck with a new toolchain.  I applied Michael
Edwards' variation on Martin Guy's patch to crosstool-0.42:

http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2006-04/msg00187.html

This toolchain produced a [seemingly] working kernel, but the system
would hang after "freeing init memory". I re-built the
gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.4 toolchain for an "arm-linux" target (non-EABI) to
see if that would help isolate the problem. The new toolchain exhibits
the same behavior as the old one, so EABI doesn't seem to be the
problem, as far as I can tell.



Is your console pointed to a live device? Is your inittab different between the two kernels, and one of them is aiming your console to the wrong serial port/device?



b.g.
