Can anybody shed > any light on this? The problem seems to be that the MIPS kernel tree isn't fully merged into the official kernel tree. In the MIPS kernel tree arch/mips/config.in includes: ... if [ "$CONFIG_MIPS_EV96100" = "y" ]; then define_bool CONFIG_PCI y define_bool CONFIG_MIPS_GT96100 y define_bool CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE y fi ... cu Adrian -- A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi
