I noticed more people are trying te get the Qube2 running. I linked the linux-mips.sourceforge.net drop in tree in the linux-2.4.8 tree and succesfully compiled a bootable kernel (after fixing some minor errors). For some reason all processes return the same exit status: 268606192.
Is there something wrong in de kernel source, or can this be caused by building with the wrong tools. I cross-compiled with egcs-mipsel-linux-1.1.2-4.i386.rpm from ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/crossdev/i386-linux/mipsel-linux . Are people using other cross-compilers that are more native to debian? How can I get it? Another problem I'm having is that the tulip network driver crashes when you de a ifconfig with the device. That's why I only compiled the 3com driver in. Besides the exit status (which makes it sort of unusable) and the crashing tulip driver, everything works well.
