Now you know the cause of this oops. That's what I found: 8810da14: 8c82001c lw v0,28(a0) 8810da18: 00809021 move s2,a0 8810da1c: 8c510000 lw s1,0(v0) 8810da20: 00a09821 move s3,a1 8810da24: 8e220118 lw v0,280(s1) and: 8810e224: 0e04367f jal 8810d9fc <ip22zilog_receive_chars> 8810e228: 02803021 move a2,s4 8810e22c: 0a04386e j 8810e1b8 <ip22zilog_interrupt+0xd8> 8810e230: 32020001 andi v0,s0,0x1 8810e234: 0e0437bc jal 8810def0 <ip22zilog_transmit_chars> > From > here, try to figure out the reason for it... Well, I'm sure "MIPS assembly for Dummies" must be available somewhere. While I keep looking please help me ;-) mfg Dennis -- There is certainly no purpose in remaining in the dark except long enough to clear from the mind the illusion of ever having been in the light.
