trying with mips32r2el/ MIPS32 (Little-endian, Release 2)

yikes i get illegal instructions

Thanks for the quick reply it is tedius but the packages will be optimized to the processor. gentoo has a stage-3 I am just having some issues with getting the correct package. I think i figured it out I found a clue on freebsd's site. https://wiki.freebsd.org/AtherosMIPS
so it looks like i need MIPS 24k (mips32r2)
my next download to see if it will work.

Would that be the correct processor type?

I am seeing a bunch of issues when trying to install packages and it is like a road block in developement. I have purchased a 128 Gig Flash with USB extender and have the Omega booting per the tutorial into it.
I am a fan of gentoo for development with portage to compile all the apps from source. What I am doing now is just wanting to chroot into it and do some stuff. I downloaded the wrong stage. So I am trying again using the mipsel4 to see if it will work. I have a feeling if we can get gentoo running on it. We can compile just about anything without much hassle. I would be interested in some input. I did see one guy has used uboot to freebsd. Freebsd is good but linux will have more driver support. ^JackB

I had the same issue. So I put the SD in my linux machine and formatted it.
