I was trying arcboot from my Indigo2. I was trying to find a proper kernel to give it (ELF) and only came accross one that i found on the oss.sgi.com ftp site: [no-exit@bert sgi]$ file vmlinux-2.4.3-20010422-IP22-4400 vmlinux-2.4.3-20010422-IP22-4400: ELF 32-bit MSB mips-1 executable, MIPS R3000_BE, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped I would assume that this kernel should boot on my Indigo2 (R4k). But alas, it just hangs when trying to load it. Am a running the wrong kernel? Is there somewhere where I can get precompiled kernels for mips?
