Peter Horton had some experimental code in the kernel at one point to try this. I managed to get a 2.6.9 (I think, maybe 2.6.10) mips64 kernel to boot on cobalt, but it was pretty useless. Poor machine was slower than molasses uphill in winter. I believe cobalt would run better using the o64 kernel hack than pure n64 kernel (-mabi=64), but cobalt needs some fixups to its spaces.h before an o64 kernel will build on it. --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
