Perhaps the R4600 isn't handled right as a result. > What's the CPU revision ID? -- it's printed right at the beginning. | CPU revision is: 00002020 | FPU revision is: 00002020 | ... | Synthesized TLB refill handler (30 instructions). | Synthesized TLB load handler fastpath (43 instructions). | Synthesized TLB store handler fastpath (43 instructions). | Synthesized TLB modify handler fastpath (42 instructions). the TLB stuff, if it's of interest... | ... | Calibrating system timer... warning: timer counts differ, retrying...\ | disagreement, using average... 44500 [89.0000 MHz CPU] | Using 44.500 MHz high precision timer. this is strange, too. It's a 133MHz CPU as kernel 2.4.x correctly recognizes. For the R4000 there are two other things I could try: console on newport instead of serial port and a 32-bit kernel, which I only tried on the R4600. I'll also try the said patch (you're referring to "blast_scache nop ...", do you?). Markus -- No RISC - No fun!
