Like, for example, the PCI stuff. So I can use the network card. And yes, I am aware of YAMON.
- the QEMU target is available only for Linux 2.6- despite popular opinion, 2.4 ain't dead yet, at least in the embedded marketI have a port of the QEMU target for Linux 2.4.34.4 (latest 2.4 kernel on linux-mips.org), with NE2000 card working (in both BE and LE modes).Still rough at the edges, but it works on stock qemu-0.9.0 with -M mips.I recommend to improve the Qemu Malta emulation, and make it work with 2.4 Malta kernels. (ISTR it used to work, so it shouldn't need a lot to get there.)
I'm sure that improving the Qemu Malta emulation is a very noble goal, but for people that need a working 2.4 kernel NOW, my patch could be useful. Having the QEMU target in 2.6 surely helped me.
