Thanks to Pete for that. The only change I had to make was to drivers/mtd/maps/db1550-flash.c which was referencing asm/au1000.h. This file has moved to asm/mach-au1x00/au1000.h. I also changed the config file to indicate Big Endian instead of Little Endian default. The tool chain was BE and the board was configured to boot in BE too. However, the kernel seems to hang in "Sending BOOTP Requests" <snip> Sending BOOTP requests .<6>eth0: link up eth1: link up ..... timed out! IP-Config: Reopening network devices... Sending BOOTP requests .... </snip> The same happens whether I use "go . ip=any" or "go . ip=10.2.11.185" from yamon. All the other nodes on this network also use DHCP to get their addresses and they have no problems. The board itself boots using tftp so the network connectivity must be good. My next step would be to specify a root file system. Where can I find a root file system (or/and compiled package) for MIPS (BE)? I saw this thread (link below) on the mailing list, but none of these links work now. http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2001-03/threads.html#00008 Thanks Prashant
