Re-run binutils-config manually, as this will fix the ldscripts bug, and then source /etc/profile. Binutils-config doesn't do this automatically, so it's caught a few people off guard. Second, whenever you use an older config on a newer kernel, _always_ check the config to make sure it didn't flip something off. Things changed dramatically from .17 to .20, and relying on oldconfig alone isn't recommended. I usually run through menuconfig and just check the categories myself. That all said, nested exceptions sometimes point at ARCS bugs. You may have an out-of-date PROM. Unfortunately, we're not sure which PROMs are out-of-date, and which ones aren't. --Kumba -- Gentoo/MIPS Team Lead "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
