[...] my config file for 2.6.23.1 from kernel.org is http://eppesuigoccas.homedns.org/~giuseppe/debian/sgi-mips-config-2.6.23.1-gs2.bz2 currently open points: 1. serial line does not work 2. cat /proc/self/cmdline ends in kernel oops 3. writing on USB block devices through a PCI-to-PCI does not work 4. XFS kernel module is missing 32bit ioctl and cannot talk with xfsdump nor xfsrestore I am currently investigating on 1. and 3.
