I'm porting kernel 2.4.1 to galileo evaluation boards, I'v used an old binaries from oss.sgi.com ftp site (Redhat version 5.0 RPMs) and worked great on kernel 2.2.14 with QED 5271 CPU.
Now i'm testing the system with kernel 2.4.1 with QED 7000A CPU but when trying to run /bin/sh for example it writes - (I'v added init=/bin/sh in the command line) -

IP-Config: Guessing netmask 255.0.0.0
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.

[sh:1] Illegal instruction 8fe30014 at 7ffffc34 ra=00000001

it is really weird because at address 7ffffc34 is the stack for the process, and no instruction should run from there !!! That means that the kernel shouldn't have printed the 'Illegal instruction' message !

Did any one had this problem ? Any suggestions ?

Regards,
Rabeeh
