[driverloader] Kernel Oops [eid-20050704-ed6]

[Olaf Groeger]

ok, 

thank you. I had a look onto TI's homepage. After that i suspect that it is 
the 1450 chip. I heard another rumour, that avm will provide a linux driver 
in the 3rd quarter although i couldn't find an official announcement. 
Anyway,i'll wait and see. Thanks again for your interest.

Yours
Olaf

P.S.: one point for the FAQ: the installation fails if the kernel compiler is 
not in the (hard coded) PATH in dldrconfig. This happens with many LFS 
systems, because they use (as the kernel team recommends) gcc 2.95 for 
compiling the kernel, which resides somewhere in /opt, but an up-to-date 
compiler as system compiler. Therefor the gcc 2.95 compiler isn't in the path 
and it need not to be, because make uses the CC variable which can be set 
accurate when compiling the kernel (make CC=/opt/... bzImage). So when it 
happens, that the installation fails with "gcc version ... or similar is 
required" and you know you have this version, you should adapt dldrconfig.
