Glad to hear that you're having success. Now if only we knew why, exactly.

I was hoping that somebody more knowledgable would comment regarding  
the "amap_wipeout" panic you saw, but I imagine the right eyes aren't  
watching this quiet list. When you get a chance, could you send the  
R5000 revision? It should be in the dmesg. Also, is your O2 an R5000  
as well? I'm wondering if our kernel or toolchain has any problems  
with possibly older revisions of those parts.

When I get a chance in a few weeks I'll have to run some builds and  
see if I can reproduce these problems on my R4400 machines.

Regards,
Steve
