got no response on my other thread, so how about a simple question.
what would i have to do to upgrade to 2.6 from 2.4? is it a
matter of
just downloading the vanilla-sources for sparc and going
through the
config/compile process? would i have to do something
special to get it
to work?
That doesn't mean you can't play with it, though. Just pull it down and
compile it. It's rather frustrating, but it's good practice, no? Who doesn't
like compiling kernels on a 166MHz SPARC?
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge -f --oneshot gentoo-sources
should get you the latest 2.6.15-r5. Tweak command line as needed for other
versions.
I'm having very good success with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1. I have it
running on a pair of V210s. The only problem I've had is SMP doesn't
work, which I've been told I can fix by playing with the way RAM is
installed, but I've yet to try that.
If you do decided to give it a spin, you'll need to install udev and a
curent linux-headers.

2.6.15-rx runs very well for me on U60, SB1000. It is just hopless on U2,
though. NO 2.6 runs on U2 worth a damn. It is beyond me why the kernel
people don't sit down and fix it. Yes, I am getting upset about this. I
am not a kernel guy, and can't help. But 2.6 DOES NOT WORK on U1/U2.
Now, I've vented.
Regards,
Ferris
