References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Shrijeet, Have you ever gotten your R4400 to boot *any* Linux kernel? I was starting think that through some strange conspiracy that the entire linux-mips community has R4600 CPUs. As long as we are on the subject of hardware..... There are many different rev levels of gfx, cpu and prom for Indy. Has anyone ever tracked a particular problem to harware revision levels?
