Yes, Aurelien already said this, too, and I agree that my patch fixes the problem but is the wrong solution. The wrong part seems to be loading or starting of the elf kernel image: the "boot loader" jumps to a memory location which is filled with nops (0). Either the load address of the kernel code is wrong, or the boot loader jumps to the wrong address. The problem is also malta specific - mips ar7 emulation works fine. I did not test the other mips machines, so I cannot say whether they have this problem, too (maybe yes because of code copy + paste). Regards, Stefan
