Are these patches lying around someplace by chance? I've used the patches on Paul Martin's site (which enables detection of the cobalt's "modified" tulip), as well as a patch from Karsten which fixed serial console and also enabled the tulip driver. Both of those patches don't seem to fix the tulip's issue of halting though, so either I have broken hardware, or I've done something unique in my setup that triggers the issue. I'd like to get ahold of any patches that I haven't tried yet in an attempt to either nail the problem or isolate the cause. btw, anyone ever gotten tulip-diag to compile on mips? --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond
