OK well,
right now i am using 2.1.43 for powerpc (pmac) without any noticable problems. i do get an oddity in my /var/log/messages:
keys kernel: KERNEL! Task: c3548000, PC: c0118038, bad area! - Addr: 260 keys kernel: NIP: C0118038, MSR: 00009932, DAR: 00000260, DSISR: 40000000, FRAME: c3549c90 keys kernel: TASK = c3548000[366] 'sh' keys kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000260 keys kernel: current->tss.pg_tables = c354a000 keys kernel: *pde = c3547000 keys kernel: *pte = 00000000 keys kernel: VFS: Close: file count is 0
anyhow when the 2.1.44 patch first came out i applied it, made all the necessary ppc changes (since the patches dont usually cover the asm-ppc and pmac only files) and got it to build ok. when i tried to boot it this is what happens:
INIT: version 2.70 booting Activating swap partitions -a: error in loading shared libraries -a: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory keys: error in loading shared libraries keys: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory hostname: (none) Checking root filesystems -V: error in loading shared libraries -V: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup):
so then i type in the root password maybe 20 or 30 lines come up and then the system reboots to do that all over again. i can only catch the first line where it says something like "usage: ld.so blah blah blah". after this i just boot my old 2.1.43 kernel and everything is back to normal. ii am pretty sure i made all the necessary file system changes, and since it compiles without any warnings that shouldnt be there i am assuming maybe it is a glibc problem? i know that it is recommended to use libc 5.4.33, but i do not have that option. was anything changed in 2.1.44 that would break glibc 1.0 support? i am using redhat 4.2 w/ the glibc-0.961212 packages and other than this i have not had many problems with it. i have also been keeping up with the 2.1.45 development and have re-tested the kernel with each of the pre-patches and finally patch-2.1.45. same thing. any ideas?
