First I would be happy to contribute but does that mean that the 2.6.31.4-rt14 doesn't support MIPS or at least in not tested ? My current Linux version is 2.6.29.6 and I would like first to re-use the loongson port for my board so I can get something quite very quickly then in parralel move to 2.6.31.4-rt14 . I can't get hold of linux-2.6.29-stable-loongson-RT_PREEMPT. Could you please guide me on where to get it.
