Yesterday I have tried last 2.6 from git on a Origin-2000, I have xcompiled it with gcc-3.4, and booted it via tftpd with:
"bootp(): console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1", but after downloading the kernel, it doesn't print anything and freeze ! any idea ?

if needed I can provide an account on the Origin

Maybe you have my same (old) problem. Please, consider to take a look at thread «trouble on serial console for au1100».

Ciao,

Rodolfo

In reply to Michele Carla`

Plain git will not work. Check out Gentoo patch set for kernel - there are few IP27-specific patches that are absolutely required.
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/mips-sources-generic_patches-1.21.tar.bz2

Although I have to say that latest git even with relevant patches applied gets me to starting init, but not further.

Really tanks !

Have you got networking (integrated or menet) working whit this kernel ? Are you using an Origin-200 or 2k

Tanks again !
