Hi,

I'm trying to build a kernel for an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Pro (not a
Lite).  I'm using the current master from linux-mti, and this produces a
kernel that boots and has network support (but bizarrely not activity
LEDs) and USB support, which is good.  However, what I am seeing is
bizarre floating point behavior.

Is there a known issue with master on these Octeon2-based boards?
Should I be pointing my finger of blame at the compiler I've built
(using crosstool-ng) or my configuration of the kernel?

Is there a better choice of compiler and kernel to be using for these
boards?

Thanks for any input,
