Also, i would be interested in the reasons for you doing a custom kernel, and why the prebuilt one is not ok for you. First I should say, that I'm very new to Debian (and Linux) so please feel free tell me, if I'm going in the completely wrong direction ;) My goal is to set up a bridge firewa

I need to compile a custom kernel foran oldworld pmac. I've looked at every man page, mailing list and HOWTO I could find, but some things remain a complete fog! 1) Do I need to patch the kernel-sources I get via dselect (kernel-source-2.4.18-14.1)? I was under the impression that the kernel

Kernel message problem using transparent bridge firewall

Hi, I'm trying to set up a transparent bridge firewall. Everything seems to work fine, i.e. network traffic is bridged transparently and the firewall drops everything unwanted, but I get enormous amounts of kernel messages dumped to the screen (all ttys) and the logs. The problem persists if

I just finished building my beautiful bridge firewall, and it _seems_ to work perfectly! However, always after "up"ing the bridge with ifconfig I get massive amounts of screen output to EVERY local tty, thus disrupting my local command line interface. This output starts by telling my that th

Hi Fraser, some pointers (if you haven't found them yet): I did get woody's installer up and running from BootX but I want to get rid of MacOS entirely. My understanding is that I should be able to use the Quik bootloader, bypassing the need for MacOS/BootX. Yes, quik should work fine when

I'm trying to set up my oldworld power mac (7500 with a 603 CPU) up as a bridge firewall. Someone please stop me if it can't be done... Currently I'm running my own custom 2.4.18 kernel, but on bridge.sourceforge.net I read that I need to apply the patch bridge-nf-0.0.7-against-2.4.19.diff.
