Re: page size change on MIPS


Thanks a lot for your input.

This is o/p for my busybox.I am booting with INITRAMFS. and kernel
version is 2.6.30.9.
I also try latest codesourcery mips toolchain and result is same. I
could not get any hint to debug this issue.


#mips-linux-gnu-readelf -l busybox

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x400180
There are 5 program headers, starting at offset 52
