-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all...
It's been a while since I've written, so I hope that this is a relevant question. I just got off irc w/ the debian folk, and didn't really get anywhere. First, I'm running woody, w/ a 2.2.22 kernel. I want to attempt to compile the 2.5.75 kernel, and I get an error: poet:/home/movies/linux-2.5.75# make make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. *** 2.5 kernels no longer buildcorrectly with old versions of binutils. *** Please upgrade your binutils to 2.12.1 or newer make: *** [checkbin] Error 1 but, I've got binutils 2.12.90.0.1-4, which is newer than 2.12.1, right? If this is the case, then the error message must be bogus, and something else is wrong. That's one thing. Then, the Documentation/Changes says I need a "recent version" of binutils, but not what version. Is this a bug, and does it need reporting? I do understand that I need Module-Init-Tools, but that there is no package for woody. So...should I just give up and not bother with this (or any 2.5/6 kernels) WRT woody?
