I tried that on an a1101 machine we have, and now it won't boot anything - not even kernels which used to work :S > Do you know if are there sources available for such binary? The sources for PMON on the rs780e machines is here (and they work since I eventually managed to build + run them): http://www.loongnix.com:8000/dev/gitweb/pmon-loongson3 The source for the ext2 symlink support I did is here: https://github.com/jcowgill/pmon-loongson/tree/ext2-symlinks I have no idea if they will work on the a1101 machine - I couldn't find a PMON version 4.0.1 in the repo anywhere. > In case we would like to proceed with PMON upgrade, is there a > recommended procedure? (upgrading from a serial console) Generally I setup a TFTP server on the local network somewhere and from either the serial console or on a USB keyboard: [press c to get to the PMON> prompt] devls [find name of network adapter] ifaddr <adapter> <my ip address> [subnet mask is assumed to be 255.255.255.0] load -r -f 0xbfc00000 tftp://<tftp server ip>/<filename> reboot James
