newer kernels on an SGI O2?

I see that the most recent mips-sources kernel is 2.6.37. Are there
newer sources I can use on an O2? I tried the linux-3.0.3 sources from
the Linux/MIPS git repository, but nothing happens after "Entering
kernel" with the kernel I built.

Could you provide your config and setup for 3.0.3?

sys-kernel/mips-sources is sort of an experimental playground. I
wouldn't recommend using it unless it includes a patch you
specifically need.

For the O2, I would just use gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources. The
kernel that I built for you was just from Linus' git tree. The config
I used for it is http://dev.gentoo.org/~mattst88/sgi-o2/config

Sure thing, my config is attached. I just build it with a "make
vmlinux.32", which i think is the right way to do it under Matt's
multilib stage3.
