Hello, ...

I have some problems compiling kernels, that i don't understand.

Here is the last lines of the output of make vmlinux on a 2.2.10 kernel
patched to support apus builds.

ld -T arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds -Ttext 0xc0000000 -Bstatic arch/ppc/kernel/head.o 
init/main.o init/version.o \
        --start-group \

        fs/filesystems.a \

        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
arch/ppc/kernel/head.o(.text+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_ADDR32 
__start
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

and here is some relevant info about the state of my system.

ii  gcc             2.95.2-2       The GNU C compiler.
ii  binutils        2.9.5.0.16-2   The GNU assembler, linker and binary utiliti
ii  libc6           2.1.2-5        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone

I used a .config that seems to work for other people that don't report this
kind of error.

Is there a tool to get a 'snapshot' of a debian system, saving all installed
packages and all modified config files, so that one can easily reinstall a
clean debian setup with the same packages and conifg files ? If not i may be
willing to do something such after i have wortking boot floppies for apus.

Friendly,
