Hello, the current stable mips-sources (2.6.14.7) won't start on cobalt raq2. All output you are getting on the console (after the bootloader/colo stuff) is a couple of elf32 lines: elf32: 00080000 - 0031b01f (802e3000) (fffffff.80000000) elf32: 80080000 (80080000) 2613380t + 118684t This system works just fine with a 2.6.13.4 kernel. $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/mips/cobalt/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.13.4-mipscvs-20050914 mips) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13.4-mipscvs-20050914 mips Nevada V10.0 FPU V10.0 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="mips" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mips4 -mabi=32 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mips4 -mabi=32 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="mips apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli cobalt crypt ctype dba expat fastbuild force-cgi-redirect fortran ftp gd gdbm gpm imap ipv6 jpeg libwww md5sum memlimit mysql mysqli ncurses nls nomultilib objc pam pcre pear perl png posix python readline sdl session simplexml soap sockets spl ssl tcpd tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode utf8 vhosts xml xml2 xmlrpc xsl zip zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
