Hi Mike, I dont know what version you are trying but the one at linux_2_4 branch (linux2.4.21-pre4) seems to work. You can get it with cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs co -r linux_2_4 linux to configure, you can use the default config. from head do .. cp arch/mips/default-atlas .config I tried little endian. If you want that you need to select it in the config. Muthu On Sun, 4 May 2003, Michael Anburaj wrote: > Hi, > > Finally, I could compile vmlinux.
