Can this be the newport vs. I2 issue? I have (again) sent patches to Ralf
to solve this problem...

an old version is at:
 http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-mips/unsorted-patches/newport-dont-crash-i2-2001-03-25.diff
This currently doesn't apply cleanly due to the arch/mips/kernel/sgi to
arch/mips/sgi-ip22 movement, but that's just a one line change. I'll
update it when back home.

This kind of limitation can lead administrators to do irrational things,
      like install Windows. Clearly a fix was required. (lwn.net)

Hello,

> It solved the issue ... Here is the patch against current cvs

I sync'd with cvs and tried to apply this patch and it failed.

Without the patch, the kernel doesn't work on my I2:

Command Monitor.  Type "exit" to return to the menu.                            
>> bootp():/vmlinux                                                             
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.13 (from server )                                 
Obtaining /vmlinux from server
