Submitted by naishab

am using ELDK4.1 compiler and kernel 2.6.19-2. my platform is PowerPC. the kernel boots upto calling init process. then it hangs no error is reported. am using ramdisk method which works fine with 2.4.20 on the same PowerPC cpu board. but if i give some other program as my init by giving init=/myprogram it runs fine.. NFS booting also fails. board sends ARP request and the server gives ARP reply, but the board does not see the reply and reports using default port number and crashes. is i related something to memory ?.. my board has 128MB of memory.

The CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT configuration parameter no longer exists in Linux kernel.
