I want to build a kernel that will boot on a cavium octeon board. Is the cavium octeon cpuset supported for the linux kernels available at linux-mips.org. Or is such a kernel available at any other git repository?

Thanks,
Fahim

I'm not aware of any public git repositories tracking OCTEON at present. The current linux-mips.org project has no support for Cavium Networks OCTEON. There are commercial ports available: Cavium's SDK, and in embedded Linux distributions from Wind River and Montavista. You may want to try contacting Cavium at their website.

I got a Cavium board now so I hopefully can change that :-)
