I would recommend using the more recent compiler and kernel myself, in general. 2.95 is actually a version from the last century^H^H^H^H^H^H^H millennium, and any bugs it may have aren't getting fixed. I also needed the 2.6.x kernel myself for things like hotplug/firmware support. However, the principles should be the same in any case. > 1. Choose a location for the chain.

I take it you accidentally deleted an 'a' when you were cutting and pasting the error into this mail? ] Anyway, I think I can explain this to you. That's an x86-linux ELF binary you're trying to run there, not a 'doze PE executable. The Compulab cross-chain is a (set of) linux executable(s), and the instructions you are following are "How to install the linux cross-compiler on your x86 linux box and then cross compile an arm-linux kernel", whereas what you _want_ to be doing is "building a cygwin to arm-linux cross compiler on your x86 windows box and only *then* cross compiling an arm-linux kernel". This, you may remember, is where we came in! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... ------ Want more information?
