I knew that you'll come with this solution yourself ;) Ok, I accept no generic kernel. Once more here are links installer people might find usefull when building O2 kernel: http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/patches/ http://www.linux-mips.org/~glaurung/ Second one is only for reference, these patches doesn't apply any more and will be slowly integrated into linux-mips.org CVS. ladis
