[parisc-linux] My 9000/720 boots, but problems with `ldconfig'

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello HP specialists !

The help with the TRAP-18 was successful. I added this to 15/26/etc and
suddenly the system boot from my new built root, but there is a problem
with the /etc/ld.so.cache.

So I used the CD image, installed on my NFS server and ... SUCCESS !
The system boots up !
I have problems with the RTC chip, setting the time with hwclock.
First it needs /dev/rtc, so I compiled this in and added the /dev entry.
But the ioctl reading the time fails. I have to study the NVRAM/RTC chip
type and the implementation of rtc.c.

But as mentioned above I have problems with creating a own
	/etc/ld.so.cache
I tried it with the ldconfig of my host machines (intel-linux, 
sparc-linux) with the `-r' option. My root file system was mounted on
`/mnt/disk0'. So I tried
	ldconfig -r /mnt/disk0
The machine boots with a error not finding libc.6.so.
I tried further to use ldconfig of the CD image on the running linux,
where I have mounted my self created root file system (from the 
cross tool chain) and did again `ldconfig -r /mnt' but it of course
wants to access the file relative to the cross tool chain tree
(/usr/parisc/hppa-linux/etc/ld.so.cache) which was not accessable
from the target machine.

How must I handle this, if I build a root file system from the 
scratch. The glibc source package creates the initial root tree
with the --prefix=$DEST/hppa-linux. This is the initial root of
all files executable for the HP target. And I can further build and
install software there. What is the step (especially concering the
ldconig stuff) to make a "vaild" root from that tree ?

Thanks for the help so far, I am happy to have the 720 up.

Are there news with the E55 devices. 
Again, what is "SPIFI" ?

With friendly regards

	Christoph
