Well, at your discretion, you can do that. Just close the bug or mark it WONTFIX or whatever. > I'd rather make a set of 2.4 install disks available than include > patches like this in our 2.2 kernel. It's certainly possible to change the boot-floppies over to 2.4 kernels, but I doubt the wisdom of that. I recently tried to run the kernel-image-2.4-powerpc (2.4.8-1) and it wouldn't even boot my machine (hung after the RTC stuff). Not to mention that 2.4.8 is rather old. So I question the maturity of that. I certainly don't know of anyone testing the install system with kernel 2.4 on an array of PowerPC hardware. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
