Hello there,

I made a mistake. It's not an Challenge but an Indy station. This is a
part of the real message. Please, let me know if some information are
missing. The version of vmlinux is the HardRat one.

After that, I've dowloaded a new version of kernel for Indy
(ftp://ftp.foobazco.org/pub/people/wesolows/mips-linux/kernels/,
information found on this list) but now the problem is a /tmp creation
(Create 100Mb partition on ramdisk...)

Thank you for any help.
