You have to use o64. See the arch/mips/Makefile portion of http://dev.gentoo.org/~geoman/cvs.diff for the proper changes. I'm willing to bet a lot of your problems will go away if you stop using ELF64. Such a kernel will boot, but it never quite works right. Not only that, but 64-bit kernels have had some major problems in 2.6.11 so far that I'm not sure Ralf has completely fixed just yet. Last I knew swap still didn't work, so I bet that is where your swap problem is coming from. Steve
