No. Not from us anyway. Internally, we use the Linux systems heavily for processor testing, so we tend to stay away from the bleeding edge (== too many problems and SW bugs). That is also why we haven't switched to 2.4.18 until now. That being said, there are probably many others who compile & use 2.5 kernels for MIPS. > I played around with some cross-compilers and what I understood is > > 1.

Any update from anyone used it? We're using a beta of it - and there are known issues being worked on, both compiling userland natively and kernel cross compiles. You'll have to ask Dom when he expects final 5.0 to go out the door. /Hartvig From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Hartvig Ekner Message-ID: <200205302125.g4ULPgq05186@coplin09.mips.com> Subject: Re: cross-compiler for MIPS_RedHat7.1_Release-01.00 on Atlas/4Kc Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 23:25:42 +0200 (CEST) In-Reply-To: from "Muthukumar Ratty" at May 30, 2002 02:05:17 PM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com To: Muthukumar Ratty Cc: David Christensen , linux-mips@oss.sgi.com, Hartvig Ekner Message-ID: <20020530212542.ak-I0zfsKwpu99otEsGyDL8vCl2pc2SXBhODiNDIa_g@z> Hi, Muthukumar Ratty writes: > > On Thu, 30 May 2002, David Christensen wrote: > > > linux-mips@oss.sgi.com & Hartvig: > > > > Hartvig Ekner wrote: > > > from H.J.) as well on an Atlas, you'll just have to use the 2.4.3 > > > install kernel from the 01.00 CD image you downloaded, and everything > > > else from the new release. > > Is there any latest kernel (2.5.xx) available for MIPS/Atlas?
