[RFH] Octeon support for debian.org machines
Hi,
[please CC me, i am not subscribed to the list]
i am currently busy setting Debian on MOVIDIS Revolution x16 (Octeon
3860NSP) machines. I compiled Linus 2.6.33 with .config [1], including
the following patches:
* http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2006-01/msg00181.html
* in arch/mips/cavium-octeon/csrc-octeon.c (so we always use the ugly
way):
-#if (__GNUC__ < 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ <= 3))
+#ifndef __NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN__
* set a symlink from linux-2.6.33/include/asm-mips to asm
The kernel compiles fine, but i don't get it running:

Any help how to proceed appreciated.
