R3000 doesn't have a CPU timer, so either you're porting to something else than the R3000 or you don't have a CPU timer. > When mtc0 instruction above is executed, the system hangs and the > control does not go to the timer handler. When the mtc0 gets executed you take the pending interrupt which goes to the general exception vector at 0x80000180. That's magic done in hardware. So it looks like your interrupt handler is buggy.
