This isn't Debian-specific, but I hope someone here can help me. I've been running Linux on Sparc for a year or so now, and have never once managed to compile a working kernel. I follow the instructions to the letter, but always end up with an unbootable file.
I believe that the problem lies in the final linking stage, as I do end up with a .../arch/sparc/boot/vmlinux file, but it's relocatable and not stripped. Any pointers on how to fix it? I really need a new 2.4.x kernel so that I can make better use of my Sparcbook. 2.2 kernels leave me using the slooooow PROM console instead of a framebuffer, and make the machine run VERY hot which I am told is fixed by new idling magic. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced
