mips-sources-2.6.12 is out.  All the relevant files should be on the mirror, so 
you should be able to build a working kernel from it.  I tested it on a 2-node, 
3-CPU Origin 200 and it worked well enough (That system was having external 
network troubles, so I couldn't test anything else, but those problems were 
unrelated to mips-sources).

I should have netboots going within a few days.

newest patch on any mirrors I checked was 20050610. perhaps tonight
there will be new ones? otherwise, these are the sources I was using
originally. I'll try again.

still nothing. all the mirrors emerge hits can't find the mipscvs diff
0703. Any ideas?

I've talked with one of our mirror admins, it should hit the mirrors sometime in 
the next four hours.

alright, now I have a new problem. I got a kernel to compile and
boot(!), but it dies at "Starting local". The pertinant output
follows. I am a little confused, but I have the idea that the new
install guide doesn't use devfs, so my kerneld didn't either, but now
I'm wondering...

Basically, processes are trying to get at the virtual terminals (tty1~12) to
set various options such as keymaps, and to set up login sessions, and failing
to do so.  You need to use serial console on these boxes, which is described
in the Gentoo/MIPS Handbook[1].

I'd recommend disabling the 'keymaps' and 'consolefont' services at boot
(rc-update del keymaps ; rc-update del consolefont IIRC, could be 'rem'
instead too).

Yep, init keeps trying to start getty's on those consoles, and they keep
failing.  This is a symptom of not having true local consoles.  See the above
link to the handbook on how to fix this.

(BTW: in future emails to the list, could you _please_ not top-post when
replying?  It _really_ makes it difficult to read threads when posts end up in
reverse-cronological order, as one has to mentally, re-order the posts.)

Thanks for the tips. I ended up finding the INIT fix somewhere and got
that working, so the serial console works, and everything's groovy.
And yes, that is in the handbook. However, the commands for disabling
keymaps and consolefont are not, and although I could probably have
figured them out, I think it makes sense to have them in that section.
   Is there a wiki somewhere? It took me a while to get this machine
running and there's a couple of things specific to the origin I found
helpful. And sorry for the top-posting, gmail makes it easy, hiding
the quoted text and putting the cursor at the top when I hit reply. Oh
well, that's what I get for web-based email. Thanks again,
-Dave

Make up a list of your notes, and submit them in a bug (at bugs.gentoo.org), 
assigned to mips@gentoo.org, and I'm sure Redhatter can find a way to fit them 
into the Handbook under the relevant section(s).  User feedback in this regard, 
especially on IP27, is always helpful to have so it can get documented.
