has anybody had any success?
I've got the framebuffer device compiled into 2.4 and when i boot it, i get

there was some code for a real-mode 486 emulator (designed to init

ise,
Dominic Giampaolo's book on the BeOS's BeFS has some interesting
performance comparisons (to ext2 and NTFS).
XFS also stores data on disk in your native byteorder :) (although they
found that the overhead of switching was minimal anyway)

wrong). try something like this:
$ tar xfj linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
$ cp -rl linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4.21
$ cd linux-2.4.21
$ bzcat ../patch-2.4.21.bz | patch -p1

Are you sure you were patching on a clean tree? Remove what you have,

You may have installed a 2.2 kernel (the default on woody disks IIRC)

Yes - PPC chips (up to the 970) could operate in either mode - so they

they've done it a different way now (for G5s at least).

either upgrade your packages, or make sure that /dev/pts is being
