I recall there was a problem with FPU context switching which would not let a MIPS IV Malta kernel (needed for all the old QED CPU core cards) run with a MIPS32r2 core. > than any other system.

The DECs should be reletively easy if we finally managed to get rid of all the 64-bit-isms in the 32-bit kernel even if built for MIPS III or above. Which, given the recent commitment to 32-bit cores is what I would actually expect. Maciej
