Mind you, I'll possibly end up porting that script to use git, once I get git figured out (and the repository dragged across the web... good thing the month's quota is almost up). Incidentally, you do realise that you don't `make bzImage` like you do under x86 don't you? On mips, we use the raw vmlinux file (or sometimes, we `make vmlinux.32`). This is fed to the bootloader. -- ____ _ Stuart Longland (a.k.a Redhatter) / _ \ ___ ___ __| |__ __ __ Gentoo Linux/MIPS Cobalt and Docs - (_) \ / \ ; \(__ __)/ \ / \ Developer \ // O _| / /\ \ | | | /\ | /\ | / / \ /__| / \ \ | | | \/ | \/ | (___/ \____/|_; |_| \_/ \__/ \__/ http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter 1. http://www.longlandclan.hopto.org/~stuartl/mips-linux/utilities/get_kernel.sh.gz
