RaQ2 isn't supported in woody, so there shouldn't be any old kernels for it in the archive. The first Debian kernel for mipsel/cobalt is 2.4.25 from 2004-04-17. > I plan to expose the machine to the web. Is the mips(el)-port dead or > what's happening there?

The debian-installer is btw. nearly ready (AFAIK some bootloader issues are not fully solved). If you want to try a reinstall, I'd recommend to wait a few more days until beta4 of d-i comes out.
