Ok, this is a kernel problem. Moreover (unfortunately) I have never been able to build a working kernel-image for my cobalt. > From: Debian BTS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Debian Bug Tracking System > Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 3:48 PM > To: Massimo Cetra > Subject: Bug#223547 acknowledged by developer (Re: > Bug#223547: Libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 breaks system functionality on mipsel) ... > It has been closed by one of the developers, namely > Jeff Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. ... > *Never* do that.
