BDI-2000

[Muaddi, Cecilia]

Thanks Wolfgang,

You are right, my ethernet mac address was not passed in properly.
Furthermore, I had
too many ethernet device configured for this board.  Should be only one
ethernet devices.
Once I fixed the problem, my linux kernel is now up and running on the
custom board.

Thanks for all those who help.

As to the PPC native gdb, i don't see it in my distribution from timeSys.
Do you
have a suggestion as to where can i get a copy?

Thanks

Cecilia

Ummm... does not look like valid MAC addresses to me.

errno=101 -- Network is unreachable

It's more that your MAC address is bogus.

Which appnote? Doesn't it mention that you  need  to  run  a  PowerPC
version of GDB, either natively or a cross-GDB?

The problem is that "gdb" will start the native GDB, which  does  not
work on PowerPC systems. You have to specify the name of your PowerPC
Cross-GDB.
