I have been having very good luck building 2.6.14-2 with all of the folowing combinations, on sid: i386: gcc 4.0.2-3, kernel-package 9.008.4 powerpc: 4.0.2-2, kernel-package 9.008.4 hppa: 4.0.2-2, kernel-package 9.008.4 I heard a whisper of some problems with 4.0.2-3, but I have not seen evidence of that on i386. On the other hand, I've held back on upgrading the others. I have some vauge memory of a problem with 9.008.3, but I can't put a finger on it. > When I override > (-d) it appears there is no .config file.

But in any case, give kernel-package 9.008.4 a spin. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
