Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Determining the MAC address on a Spartan 3e Starter Kit

["Jose Torres" <vonneh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I eliminated thttpd from the kernel build and just as you
suspected it seems like it is hanging after that. I got TFTP to work
in u-boot and it does occasionally have packet loss, although not as
severe as yours.
In the middle of writing an email stating that I give up.. it came to
me what the problem was.
I remembered one important change I made. In a frantic struggle to get
the kernel to compile one night, I disabled agetty from the kernel
config. This was causing it to "hang"!

Setting up interface eth0:

bleep login: root
Password:
# ls
bin   dev   etc   home  lib   mnt   proc  sbin  tmp   usr   var
# cd bin
# ls
[                dhrystone        killall          rm
agetty           echo             ln               rmmod
basename         erase            login            sh
busybox          eraseall         ls               shutdown
cat              false            lsmod            telnetd
chmod            flatfsd          mkdir            test
cmp              free             modprobe         tftp
cp               ftpd             mount            touch
cxx_constructor  hd               msh              true
cxx_except       hostname         mv               umount
cxx_exception    httpd            netflash         uname
cxx_helloworld   ifconfig         passwd           uptime
cxx_iostream     inetd            ping             version
date             init             ps               vi
dd               insmod           pwd              wget
dhcpcd           kill             reboot

Thanks for your guidance. I almost gave up for good.
