You don't need a rootfs to see the jazzsonic driver messages. But if you still want one, you could try the mipsel builds from these distros (not the 64-bit ones): https://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Gentoo/experimental/mips/stages/ https://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/ > If you can provide me with a link to your vmlinux and rootfs with > busybox or similar in it, I can take a look to see what is happening > here.

I really should use PGP and organise a web of trust but that's very difficult given my rural location.
