I noticed this guy talking about O2 and having some patches and precompiled kernels. Are these in anyway related to what you are talking about? http://www.linux-mips.org/~glaurung/ > I'm working sowly on it, but I get constantly distracted by toolchain > issues. :-) I looked arround your website and saw "mips64-linux-ip28-2002-06-28.tar.gz" whoo..

Are you saying I might get this one working with the Debian boot-images that I already tried, or? -- Regards Martin Leopold. Dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen
