Matthew - Great idea - both sites should CLEARLY cross-link their information pages.
My own suggestions: 1) - leave the /devel directory on the CD image until at least version 12.0.0 of pa-risc.linux. I am using the kernel snap-shot of 06/03/2001 - in the hopes that it is close to what was used to build the kernels in V0.9 - but that is only a guess on my part 2) - don't drop a built kernel into an image of even a pre-release CD until it compiles error (and warning) free. Some of the problems I have found and fixed were clearly mentioned by the compiler. 3) - Note to others trying fix "Old Box" support - Please use a command line such as: date >0603_something_cmnd.txt ; \ date >0603_something_errs.txt ; \ make vmlinux (or whatever) >>0603_something_cmnd.txt 2>>0603_something_errs.txt Then tar-zip the linux/.config, ...cmnd.txt, and the ...errs.txt - attach to e-mail directed to Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The more paths through this code taken by the compiler, the faster I should be able to find (and maybe fix) the "Old Box" support. 4) - Note to folks posting the daily kernel snapshots - 4.a) - Please make the "daily snapshots" contain only changed files from the prior "daily snapshot". 4.b) - Please make a "complete" kernel snapshot only once a week. 4.c) - Please include the three files mentioned above in each and every snapshot. Being able to diff those three files is a big aid in making progress on these problems.
