Re: [ts-7000] TS7400:Recompile 2.6 Kernel

["Jordi Soucheiron" <>]

The problem is that you have to load the sdcard kernel driver from somewhere. Loading it from a initdr should be possible, but i have no idea how to do that.
You should be able to load from a nfs

Hi,
I did that but still failed to load it. Did you use the bootload utility to boot from this kernel? If so, could you tell me the kernel command line you used? Are you facing a problem with loading the correct driver for the sdcard? Well, I got the tssdcard.ko driver from the website which is probably the one for the 2.6.21 kernel. However, I am still not being able to boot to it. I am also trying to use the filesystem from the sd card and not nfs.
thanks,
Pradip

I've done it. The problem is that although is possible to load the kernel it's not possible to load the sd module on boot time (I haven't succeeded at least).
I got the croostool named: crosstool-linux26- 3.4.4-2005q3- 2 and the 2.6.21 kernel from embeddedarm website.
I modified the Makefile pointing to the crosstol dir.
make 72xx_defconf
make menuconfig (or xconfig)
make
Now you should have the kernel image and be able to load it. If you find out how to load the sd filesystem without a nfs please explain it.
Good luck

Hi,
If somebody has successfully recompiled kernel 2.6.21 and loaded it on the TS7400, could he/she please provide a howto in terms of the steps taken to do that?
If I have debian on the sdcard and wish to load using kernel 2.6, what are the modifications needed to the linuxrc (if any)?
thanks,
Pradip
