Re: [ts-7000] Re: Recompiling kernel for TS-7260

[sean <>]

I repeated the kernel recompilation steps as listed in my original message, but
used the "zImage" target instead of "bzImage".  Findings are inline below:
I used the kernel src. from ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/sources/tskernel-2.4.26-ts11-src.tar.gz
The cross compiler I'm using is /usr/local/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc.
I was advised by Technologic that that's the one they use to compile their 2.4 kernels.

What is crash out? Better description may get better suggestions.

This is what I get on the serial console after installing the newly built kernel:

It will display these chars for about 20 seconds, then reboot and repeat the process

Try just 'make zImage' here. Then the boot image is in
arch/arm/boot/zImage.

OK, made the zImage target this time, didn't seem to make any differences.
