thanks to everyone who helped me with the shutdown madness that i was experiencing!
i have 3 (perhaps bone-headed) questions about kernel compilation for an 8500. 1> i have downloaded the source for a kernel (2.4-benh-2.4.20-ben10) that has been optimised for old-world SCSI-based machines such as the 8500 from: http://www.ppckernel.org/kernel.php?id=24 -->my question: i have a config file that i would like to modify and use to make a new kernel... however, is it enough just to do a 'make menuconfig' and inport my custom config file? does it save it in the correct location? furthermore, are there any PPC-related steps that i should follow when making the kernel? 2>with the source for a similar kernel (optimised for old-world NuBus machines) - are there certain steps one needs to follow in order to make a 'Mach Kernel' suitable for booting an 8100? 3> is there any real support for the PlanB video input with a 2.4 kernel ? i would like to use this 8500's built-in video digitizer for some real work... but not too sure if it is even worth pursuing... thanks in advance!!! dylan
