First set of tests with ticker.<br>
I went one stage further and downloaded the cygwin tools and built using
them also.<br>
I also wrote down the GRUB parameters in case they mean anything).<br>
These tests were done using a pc386 build of ticker in the samples.<br>

I believe I can effectively eliminate a problem with my tools as I have used
the prebuilt cygwin ones.<br>
Also, there can't be a problem with my bootloader as the exe from eric loads
fine.<br>
<br>
I am therefore stumped? <br>
<br>
It might be interesting to see what a pc386 that works from cygwin or OSX
gives in the boot<br>
<br>
Any suggestions as to what I should try next<br>
<br>
BTW, I used the exact configuration given below for the cygwin build, have
rechecked the md5 checksum and then even re-downloaded the RTEMS source and
compared using a Hex editor.<br>

I have also built on OSX and it appears that they are identical. <br>
The exception on ticker is 13 <br>
<br>
On Monday, I will do a full comparison to see how identical the OSX and the
Linux ones are. <br>
<br>
Could I get the exact config you used for building RTEMS also? <br>
