What happend , i dont know what is the meaning of "relocation truncated to fit "
Thanks for your help

Try adding '-G0' to the EE_CFLAGS.
You might have to recompile libito with that as well.

Works perfectly Thank you BraveDog . I don't understand the message of the
gcc "relocation truncated to fit" could you explaim me what was the error and
why ,when I recompile the libbito whith EE_CFLAGS -G0, worked .
THANKS.

Sorry, don't know the full details.
Google is a great search tool. Try:
"relocation truncated to fit" MIPS

and do some reading. :)

Ho well, that's a known issue... there's something in the mips called "$gp", a register, that is "global pointer". It can point to a 64kb of memory. Pointers to this locations will be saving 4 bytes to access them. Now there's only 64kb.... having -G0 says "don't put anything in that global section please", otherwise you might end up with that error...

I'm trying to copy a initrd.gz to my memory card to be able to boot linux in my ps2 linux, but ps2menu says the it cannot copy compressed to the memory card...
how can i bypass this?
