    Hi,

    It's maybe related that the mips64el kernel doesn't boot at all.

    This is unrelated. On mips64el, QEMU defaults to the 20Kc CPU which
    Debian does not support. If you pass "-cpu MIPS64R2-generic" to QEMU
    then it should work.

    Yes, it works perfectly well for Debian Jessie.

    Ok, thanks for confirming.

    mips folks - any clues please? AFAICS we've had ~zero input about mips
    in d-i and image work, and no visible testing. Some help would be
    appreciated...

    It also seems to be broken on MIPSEL

    Hi Bruno,

    Did the same setup work with jessie images? I've got ~no background
    with mips stuff here...
