Recently I updated my Amiga3000/18MB-RAM Debian-2.0 to 3.0. Usually I build my own kernel on small systems but a first try took 11 hours and the result didn't work.
My installed applications are kernel-package+debs and gcc-2.95 - browsing the lists I found the suggestion to use gcc272 for compiling m68k-kernels - is this still recommended? I have three requirements: 1. lean nonmodular/monolitic kernel 2. support for my ariadne1 3. use true vga-textmode on my cl5424-board Which kernel-source is required? Is there any performance-penalty to be expected between 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4? I prefer vanilla ftp.kernel.org or at least as close as possible :-) Some while ago I managed to get vga-textmode running on an Amiga4000 with CV64-3D - it was impressivly fast, no framebuffer ever can get close to that. So I would like it also on my Amiga3000. To bad I never wrote down how I achieved that. I found some titbits while going through the m68k-kernel-framebuffer-options, but I still do not know how to configure it on the kernel-commandline by video=. Any comments will be appreciated. -- Christian Brandt life is short and in most cases it ends with death but my tombstone will carry the hiscore
