I'm having problems building 2.6 head from the linux-mips cvs. There were a number of build errors with the /arch/mips/config/db1550-defconfig file. Eventually, it built with a number of fixes.

After fooling with make menuconfig (turned off 64 bit support, PCMCIA, NFS, etc.) I got it to the point where it would load, but then couldn't mount root from hdg1. It cannot seem to find the hard drive at all. 2.4.25 correctly boots and mounts root from the ide drive. Has anyone gotten the 2.6 kernel from cvs head to boot on a db1550, and successfully mount root from an ide hard drive? If so, how? Thanks in advance, Christian
