To solve this problem you need either a newer prom or an Indy kernel in ECOFF format. I've successful booted a converted kernel a few minutes ago and will upload this kernel to ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test/vmlinux-indy-2.2.1-990226.ecoff.gz Please try it. I've created it with a modified elf2ecoff tool from the kernel sources on the Indy itself (it works only when used on a machine with the same endian as the kernel). I look into fixing byte ordering problems in elf2ecoff to allow even cross compiling of kernels on opposite endian machines. Thomas. -- This device has completely bogus header. Compaq scores again :-| It's a host bridge, but it should be called ghost bridge instead ;^) [Martin `MJ' Mares on linux-kernel]
