What kernel version? (It's definitely a kernel bug that it ends up at the PROM prompt, but we should none the less try and keep xdm from triggering it.) > startx as a user doesn't work (apparently because /dev/fb doesn't exist). > > startx as root causes the kernel to halt as above. > > On one occasion when it halted, I saw the message 'modprobe - unable to > locate fb' or something like that. Hmm, I shall try and put together an -8.2 then. Christian, did you apply/merge/whatever the old sparc patches in the bugtracking system into your patch? Incidentally, do we have a decision on what to do about libc5? (Previously we had some sort of consensus on not bothering with it - or so I interpreted it anyway - and thus I don't have the altgcc stuff installed...) /Anders -- -- Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
