Thanks. This kernel works - however, it is based on 2.6.36.

If I try to use the kernel patches submitted to linux-mips
(http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5605/ etc), they are not
sufficient to boot the kernel but end up with an error message like
http://lists.debian.org/20130627202506.GD28240@mails.so.argh.org .
Do you have any hints on that (to be able to setup the machines as
"regular" buildds for debian I need to use a current kernel, or at
least show that upstream has the patches included)?
