hello!

we are also working with this board and it it supported thru the Pb1500 board 
configuration of the linux-mips.org kernel. we use the 2_4 branch and some 
patches of pete (ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ppopov). with 
these patches i can already see my pci cards (but i dont yet have a driver 
for them). usb does not yet work - it complains that it cannot assign new 
numbers to the devices. the flash chip (AM29LV641DL) is also not recognized 
yet.

if you dont use YAMON, you have to add a patch to deal with the nonexistent 
command line parameters. i attached it for you, but its an ugly hack.

and to enable one of the ethernet ports you can use the second patch. it's 
also quite a hack, cause it does not yet deal with the second port...
