Great. I found out, that I was completely wrong. I have ``etch'' in my sources.list which of course *is* testing.

The I2 is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought, that the slowest R5K outperforms the fastest R4K (in terms of an SGI Indy: the fastest CPU for the Indy is the R5K, isn't that true?). > > - I have tested the memory with memtester and it seems to be ok.

I have had: deb-src http://debian.inode.at/debian/ etch main already in my sources.list. I checked the kernel out by issuing: # apt-get source linux-image-2.6.16-1-r5k-ip32 I used the .config from /boot/config-2.6.16-1-r5k-ip32 and it complains this: Makefile:449: /usr/src/linux-2.6-2.6.15/arch/mips64/Makefile: No such file or directory What did I do wrong? > They are probably unrelated to this problem.

I have arcboot for loading the 64bit kernel. Thank you for your answers/notes. Mic -- http://strg.at -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
