Ken,
Pass1 BCM1250's have enough problems that it's no surprise
that things don't work anymore. Most of the workarounds
to CPU core issues are deliberately not checked into the external
(linux-mips) tree, and some require some nasty toolchain
hacks (for example, taking exceptions on the instruction
in a branch delay slot is perilous).
I don't know how you got your SWARM, but you might want to
press for getting a new one. No pass1's were ever shipped
in volume, so it would be best to NOT support it.
/Mitch.
