Try "make ip32_defconfig" before going into menuconfig. It'll give you
a base workable config.

The other thing I wasn't sure about after I tried to boot the 2.4 kernel
(I know this won't work), is do I emerge the kernel or do I download it
from kernel.org?

If you emerge a kernel, make sure it one of the mips-sources-2.6
ebuilds. I recommend 2.6.10 (-r1?) for ip32. The kernel.org sources
will almost certainly not work. If you really want to download a
kernel, you will have to check out cvs from linux-mips.org.

Kumba recently contributed his config on the hardware support DB I set
up some time back...

Incidentally, if anyone's curious as to whether a particular machine is
supported and/or wants to contribute their config options, have a look at:
