The previous running kernel > were 2.6.23 from linux-mips.org and 2.6.23.1 from kernel.org. I can confirm that currnt git doesn't boot (no message on the serial console at all). However, I'm curious to know whether 2.6.23 is working properly for you (and, if so, can you send me your .config). For me, it stops after printing Freeing unused kernel memory: 268k freed but then I can still hear it doing something and after a minute or so I see: Adding 131064k swap on /dev/sda2. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:131064k EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal and later: gbefb: wait for vpixen_off timed out and then I gave up and went to bed. ;-) -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
