If you want to have any chance at all of getting this to work I would recommend you ask Harald for his latest patch; it provides some level of support for r5k-based IP32 (O2) systems. r10k O2 suffers from the same cache-noncoherency problem as r10k I2 does, and to the best of my knowledge nobody has ever really tried to even boot one. Not to discourage you at all...there's just a lot of work to do. -- Keith M Wesolowski wesolows@chem.unr.edu
