Hi, I have built a Linux kernel with my repackaged version of Maciej's cross toolchain and everything seems to work fine -- except that I can't make it boot all the way up in simh (I don't have real hardware). Do any of you have an idea of what's going on? Is my .config wrong? Do I need to use setcmdline on vmlinux.dsk first? Can anybody else build a vmlinux.dsk for me with Maciej's toolchain that works? I should perhaps try to update my git checkout of two weeks ago -- but would it change anything? I have attached my .config file and this is what my simulator session looks like: testuser@charybdis:~/Desktop/vax-linux-kernel$ vax VAX simulator V3.6-1 sim> load -r /big/simhv/VAX/ka655x.bin sim> set cpu conhalt sim> set cpu 64m sim> set rq0 ra92 sim> attach rq0 vmlinux.dsk sim> boot cpu KA655-B V5.3, VMB 2.7 Performing normal system tests. 40..39..38..37..36..35..34..33..32..31..30..29..28..27..26..25.. 24..23..22..21..20..19..18..17..16..15..14..13..12..11..10..09.. 08..07..06..05..04..03..
