The kernel I'm using is the one included in the archive at ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/redhat/hardhat-sgi-5.1.tar.gz ... I know it's a very old one (2.0x ?), but I didn't find any recent compiled kernel for IP22.

If yes, do you have any link where I could find it ? If no, I guess I will have to set up cross compilation stuff...
