Hey guys I have an old SGI indy R4600 and have installed debian testing with latest linux-mips cvs kernel. I found two problems with the programs hwclock and df. Apart from that appears to work fine. I have included their output. I don't know if it is a kernel or package problem. I don't know if it as something to do with preemtible kernel which I enabled in kernel. If anyone is interested and wants to see kernel .config, fstab or anything else I'm happy to oblidge. Barcelona:/var/log# hwclock Mar 21 19:11:20 Barcelona kernel: bad: scheduling while atomic!
