Where from? I tried to compile 2.1.121 by myself, but I need to do it with
the new kernel. But the assembler complained about gccs output which looked
for example like this:
.stabs "void:t19=19",128,0,0,0
- - - ident $Id: sys_cm.c,v 1.1 1997/09/10 22:22:37 rth Exp $
.stabs "__long_double_t:t14",128,0,118,0
Why don't you put some more recent modutils on ftp.arm.linux.org uk as you
certainly have one?
But I do not know whether this is my REAL PROBLEM, as etherh did NOT work
when compiled into the kernel. Booting the kernel went to this line and did
not get any further when etherh support was compiled into the kernel:
eth0: etherh 600A found at 8000ae00, IRQ11, ether address ...

Why don't you put an actual MAKEDEV on ftp.arm.linux.org.uk? I am relative
sure you have one. That is the question at all: Why is there only those
old a.out rubbish there? If you really want to use the arm linux (as
I want) you do not get very far with that. And before people like me who
only want to use linux and have not so much knowledge about the internals
do not manage the step from 2.0.35 a.out to 2.2.X elf all the nice patches
and developments of you guys out there are not very helpful.
Why don't you provide 2.2.X kernels for the RiscPC/A7000/...? It would be
much easier to upgrade to elf then!
[Perhaps I should stay with NetBSD. Slowly I get tired and a bit angry
because nothing seems to work with armlinux if you are not a guru and do
not know all tricks.]
