What's the recommended kernel for this machine?
I've only managed to boot 2.4.17 from debian and 2.4.18
http://www.xs4all.nl/~vhouten/mipsel/vmlinux-2.4.18-decR3k.ecoff.tgz
Unfortunately both of them freezes system (RH7.1/RH7.3) f.e. when trying to
cat /proc/cpuinfo. No oops, no message on serial, just hard freeze.
using rpm also likes to freeze this machine. I've tried co cross compile
kernel from cvs at linux-mips.org, but it stop at boot time just after
setting high precission timer. vanila kernel (2.6.7) ends with kernel panic.
cross tools used:
1. the newest versions from:
ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/crossdev/i386-linux/mipsel-linux
2. self compiled:
$ mipsel-pld-linux-gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-pld-linux/3.3.4/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info
- --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib
- --libexecdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/mipsel-pld-linux/include
- --disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c --with-gnu-as
- --with-gnu-ld --with-system-zlib --with-multilib --without-x
- --build=athlon-pld-linux --host=athlon-pld-linux --target=mipsel-pld-linux
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.3.4
$ mipsel-pld-linux-ld -v
GNU ld version 2.15.91.0.1 20040527
The same effect on both.
I cannot find any patches for decstation on the net
Are there any more mips kernel repositories over the net?
I've got this machine two days ago and I'm trying to make small PLD port
there.
I would be gratefull for any help.

This is very old.

Fixed in newer 2.4 kernels from linux-mips.org.

linux-mips.org CVS, -r linux_2_4, should work for serial console. Debian
has a r3k-kn02 kernel package for mipsel which is supposed to work as
well.

I've already found, but it doesn't build (my previous post)

The only debian image I've managed to find was 2.4.17 and it freezes the same
way like 2.4.18 quoted previously :-(

Thank's. I wasn't looking in packages, but around boot images. It seems thay
have outdated files there.

It almost works properly. I get oopses all the time (mainly with modules
operations, but not only). Maybe to old modutils and rest of the system. I'll
check it tommorrow. Thank for help. I must have a look at debian patches too.
