Hmmm, funny. I can't get my 5000/150 to work correctly with any kernel I
tried. It always hangs after the "This is a DECstation 5000/1xx" message.
I configured the kernel for R4000, of course (and the -N also isn't the
problem). Perhaps also a buggy PROM version? Which version do you have
in your 5000/150 ? The 5000/150 I have seems to hang just before calling
jal loadmmu
or on return from the preceding instruction
jal prom_init
in arch/mips/kernel/head.S as the last instruction in prom_init is
definitely executed (I inserted a prom_printf there) and the next one in
loadmmu (hacked another prom_printf in there) isn't - maybe a stack
problem ?

Michael
