Hi Ben, thanks for replying. Let see this new kernel...
Altivec goes away, as the PowerBook does not need it, hopefully not for long... Support fot the Parallel port and the dummy devices is already de-selected (it was about time). There is no more USB-SCSI support, that used to be de-selectec, so this is ok too. Let's give it a try. make dep is ok. make complaints: drivers/usb/usbdrv.o: In function `usbdevfs_cleanup': drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.text+0xd7c4): undefined reference to `unregister_filesystem' drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.text+0xd7c4): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 unregister_filesystem make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 alice:/usr/src/linux# By de-selecting "Preliminary USB device filesystem" (too bad), the compilation terminates nicely. Let see whether it boots... CRASH! OH! I hate this part... 2.2.17-pre10-ben1 ... vector: 300 at pc=c019b8b8, msr=9032, sp=c0415820 [c0415770] dar = d0001304, dsisr=42000000 current=c0414000, pid=1, common=swapper mon> Ok, I had xmon enabled. I am running the latest distribution (a mix of stable and unstable, all the latest packages I want) on a Lombard. Regards, Sergio
