Ok, progress on getting a WORKING kernel to compile, for anyone that needs it. I was able to compile the latest 2.4 kernel (2.4.31) and it seems to be working properly, no network problems, etc. I used the kernel source from kernel.org, and MANUALLY applied the patch-2.4.24-cobalt from http://www.colonel-panic.org/cobalt-mips/. I was never able to get it to work before because just running patch would cause errors, so I went through to see what it was changing, and just applied them manually (with vi). There wasn't as much as I thought, it only took about 20 minutes, after which I tarred up /usr/src/linux and saved it for future use. I then compiled the kernel the non-debian way (make dep; make clean; make vmlinux), and all went well. So just letting everyone know, incase there's someone that needs the info in the future.... -Ryan -- I have often wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasionally titanic significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong. -- H.P.
