Any reason why the networking code wouldn't like to run in ROM?
I can boot a farily functional kernel from ROM without networking, but with networking it fails right after "IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP". I've traced it and it seems to fail in various places inside networking, depending on what else I build into the kernel and how I initialize data (copy initialzation data to cached or uncached ram).
Oh, there's a twist: I can get it to run with networking in uncached ROM, just not with networking in cached ROM.
Any ideas? Does it need special alignment? Does it self-modify? Any thing else?
Regards, Brad
