Kernel to boot all arcNumbers ?

Hi Folks,
is there a kernel or an image available which boots with every arcNumber? A fried of mine has changed the arcNumber and the Dockstar don't boot anymore. If we could find a kernel don't using the arcNumber we could revert it without a serial cable.

Greetings,
Thomas

I doubt it. But if you know what number it was changed to, you can redefine MACH_DOCKSTAR to that number and build a hacked kernel that should work.

Here's another possibility, which doesn't require rebuilding a kernel, just modifying it a bit.
You can do what the "flash-kernel" script does for some images, and insert an initial pair of instructions that sets the correct machine ID in r1. This should force it to boot as a DockStar, no matter what arcNumber is set to. Warning: I haven't tested this.

$ cp vmlinuz test-vmlinuz
$ devio 'wl 0xe3a01c0b,4' 'wl 0xe38110b6,4' > test-vmlinuz
$ mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -n linux -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -d test-vmlinuz uImage

Hiu ecc,
the "MACH_DOCKSTAR" method worked fine.

Thanks a lot,
