Check out a cvs tree no later than 12/11/2003, a change in CVS after that date seems to have nuked r4k kernels. It is believed the change in question is: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-cvs/2003-12/msg00031.html I've not yet been able to find a 'clean' way to remove the changes to those specific files in that commit while keeping all the changes made afterwards intact to test this idea. --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond
