hi, all checking in -
i have been trying the 2.6.17 kernel on my old lcIII/performa450 (68030 no FPU). its a bit of a mish-mash, how i did. download linux-image-2.6*.deb ran apt-get install module-init-tools and initramfs-tools (which brought in about 12 more packages to resolve dependencies) ran dpkg install l*2.6*deb editing initramfs-tools/config to modules=dep mkinitramfs -o initrd-dep-test copy that back up to hfs mac space with kernel to boot w/penguin. (all above done on base sarge install, added etch cd-rom of 8-10-06 for init tools etc via apt-cdrom ... ) (part of this i did booted from emile resue disc for speedier a little) trying to boot right now i get hang up right after it identifies the scsi devices, i think maybe i should check or redo the initrd again. the errors read : block_queue_max_hardware_segments:set to minimum 1 (repeated 10x -between around scsci device idents, followed by) "bus error in macscsi_pread" i took me a few tries with the ppc arch. well. the system will still boot 2.2 kernel. it just complains about missing udev support briefly, skips it. i was thinking about i should configure slattach and then i could log in with a serial cable via the one of my old world powemacs. in case it does boot eventually, i could work with it that way, i could have a xterm window on serial line IP... i also tried still booting the 540 again. i need it to at least get into the system, version of the kernel, before i am going to try all that compiling... It should boot, at least, right ? but it does same thing as 2.6 here is panic/stack trace (so much output i can't see what happened). i am trying to see to acess /build new cross compiler. (i can't stand osX/gratis past Jaguar, so I have to use the debian/libre version). brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
