5.1 install hangs on Certance CP3100

I'm taking advantage of a slow period at work to install
5.1 on a Certance CP3100.

When booted with the install kernel it get's to where it
"should" start console interaction, but nothing occurs.
The last thing I get is the following

root on md0a dumps on md0b
root file system type: ffs
WARNING: clock gained 402 days
WARNING: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!

then nothing.

I believe this is related to interupt handing on the
Certance CP3100 AKA TeamASA NPWR-SCE.  I thought this
issue was resolved in the past, but it has been many
years since I tried installing NetBSD on one of these
systems.

Thumb detector

Once again, I've needed to patch a pkg to not explicitly use ARM-Thumb's
"bx" instruction, this time in devel/gmp.

For ROM-starved embedded devices, some ARM cpus have an extension
called THUMB which is a 16bit-opcode-encoded subset of the full
instruction set. I think that newer CPUs just have it all, for
older you have to look for a "T" in its name. StrongARM variants
don't have it.

There's a calling convention to allow ARM library code being called
from and returning to either ARM or Thumb mode; the library has to
replace the usual "mov pc,lr" by "bx lr" for this.

I think it would be useful if people reporting "illegal instruction"
traps on ARM machines to report whether they're running on a non-
Thumb- aware cpu; some code has been detected to explicitly use
the Thumb-compatibility calling/returning convention (e.g. one
year ago in the ocaml native compiler, now gmp), and it would be
useful to look for that. As not everybody has sharp enough eyes 
to read the fineprint on his CPU, here's a test program.

Compiling -current

Hello,

Has anyone been able to compile the toolchain from -current lately?  It
seems to have broken a couple of weeks ago or so.  This is where it fails
for me:

#      link  binstall/xinstall
cc -O -I/usr/obj/tools/compat -I/usr/obj/tools/compat/include
-I/usr/src/tools/binstall/../compat -DHAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H=1
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/src/tools/binstall/../compat/sys
-DTARGET_STRIP=\"/tools/bin/arm--netbsdelf-strip\" -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree
 -o xinstall xinstall.lo getid.lo -L/usr/obj/tools/compat -lnbcompat -lz
cc: xinstall.lo: No such file or directory

*** Failed target:  xinstall

Any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks in advance!

Sheevaplug/Dockstar -current kernel doesn't build, won't boot

Hello all,

I noticed that the recent -current SHEEVAPLUG kernel won't build, it
complains of symtab space:

Increase options SYMTAB_SPACE in your kernel config

*** Failed target:  netbsd

I increased SYMTAB_SPACE to 725000 and this seemed to work.

But when I try booting the kernel on my Dockstar (with a config
customized for the Dockstar hardware), it panics at init which
happened a few months ago or whenever the last time was that I tried
to boot a -current kernel.

I've got a kernel that works with sources from July 22 right now.

I'm not much good and going through the debugger to figure out what's
going on. I can try to provide my machine to someone if they want to
fix it, I can attach the serial terminal to another machine or
something.

Beagleboard

Hi, does NetBSD run on Beagleboard? If yes, then what works and what doesn't?

cross-compiling various packages for ARM [GishPuppy]

Dear all,

I've been playing with a SheevaPlug. I was able to have a fully functional system. However, now I'd like to
add different "packages", like wget, zsh, etc. I cannot compile these packages directly on the Sheeva,
it's damn too slow, so I tried to cross-compile, without success. Here is what I did for wget:

Anyone considered a port to the HTC Dream (G1)

ARM11 CPU, 192MB RAM, 512M flash &qwerty keyboard.
Seems like quite a reasonable spec when compared to various embedded arm boards.

Available quite reasonably on eBay & I have a spare... :)

Panic on Seagate Dockstar at boot using recent -current

Hello all,

I built a kernel from sources synced a few hours ago for my dockstar.
I decided to try both the new conf file for SHEEVAPLUG as well as the
one I've been using before, and they both panic right when the kernel
starts init. I had to plug in my serial cable to find out. The last
kernel I built that was working was from July 22nd and I would have
synced src just before building it.

Here's what happened with bt output:
