My question now, is: how can we make the kernel code flexible > to free from the problem of the one that I've got? 1. Don't use "set .mips*" unless absolutely needed. The right ISA level is already set via a compiler option depending on the host CPU selected upon kernel configuration. 2. If you can't avoid "set .mips*" for some reason, then always restore the default state after the relevant code, either by ".set mips0" or by ".set push" and ".set pop". -- + Maciej W.
