Hi, thanks to Miod, the System is booting, and I was also able now to compile a kernel on it.
I added "option DEBUG" in GENERIC-IP27 but then compilation stopped here: cc -Werror -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno- uninitialized -Wno-format -Wno-main -Wstack-larger-than-2047 -Wvariable-decl -mno-abicalls -msoft-float -fno-builtin-printf -fno-builtin-log -fno- builtin-log2 -fno-builtin-malloc -O2 -pipe -nostdinc -I. -I../../../.. - I../../../../arch -DDDB -DDIAGNOSTIC -DKTRACE -DACCOUNTING -DKMEMSTATS - DPTRACE -DPAGEFASTRECYCLE -DPOOL_DEBUG -DCRYPTO -DSYSVMSG -DSYSVSEM -DSYSVSHM -DUVM_SWAP_ENCRYPT -DCOMPAT_43 -DCOMPAT_O43 -DLKM -DFFS -DFFS2 - DFFS_SOFTUPDATES -DUFS_DIRHASH -DQUOTA -DEXT2FS-DMFS -DNNPFS -DTCP_SACK - DTCP_ECN -DTCP_SIGNATURE -DNFSCLIENT -DNFSSERVER -DCD9660 -DUDF -DMSDOSFS - DFIFO -DINET -DALTQ -DINET6 -DIPSEC -DPPP_BSDCOMP -DPPP_DEFLATE -DMROUTING - DBOOT_CONFIG -DDEBUG -DARCBIOS -DPCIVERBOSE -DUSER_PCICONF -DUSBVERBOSE - DTGT_ORIGIN -DTGT_COHERENT -DCPU_R10000 -DONEWIREVERBOSE -D_KERNEL -D__sgi__ -c ../../../../arch/mips64/mips64/cpu.c ../../../../arch/mips64/mips64/cpu.c: In function `cpuattach': ../../../../arch/mips64/mips64/cpu.c:289: error: structure has no member named `ci_l1instset' ../../../../arch/mips64/mips64/cpu.c:289: error: structure has no member named `ci_l1dataset' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/arch/sgi/compile/GENERIC-IP27 (line 92 of /usr/share/mk/sys.mk). Appended patch fixes the compilation error. I hope that are the right things that should be printed out there. However, when I then run the kernel, it was looping through the while loop in void softclock(void *args) in kern/kern_timeout.c. After 15 minutes of the "timeout delayed" messages I powered of the machine as it seemed to hang there forever.
