I seem to recall that the kernel mmap implementation on hppa is somewhat unique. I don't recall anything, Kyle? This came up with respect to the GCC PCH implementation for parisc. See comments in host-hpux.h. At the moment, we do have a PCH related bug. See PR 39355. Whi

2.2.18pre kernels and pcmcia in 2.2rN

2000-11-18 Thread Randolph Chung
The potato pcmcia package (3.1.20) does not work with the 2.2.18pre kernels. We need to either patch it or use the one from woody. Seems like using the woody one would make more sense at this point... I'll go ahead and build the potato PCMCIA packages as NMUs so we can at least test boot-floppies.
