One step forward!
I hacked the sis900.c file from kernel 2.4.18 src so that
it would compile under the 2.4.9 tree.
That wasn't too bad. Two things:
commented out a macro MODULE_LICENSE (line 171)
removed a cast to __devexit_p for sis900_remove (line 2513)
The 2.4.9 kernel compiled OK now and when I put the
new kernel and new (hacked) sis900.o driver where
the thinclient would find them, we indeed were
able to boot the kernel.
It now panics because of NFS problems. This
is exactly what happens with a 2.4.18 kernel.
The dead panicked kernel does not stop the
thinclient from responding to pings - so the
driver is loaded and working. (or does the NI chip
do this of its own accord once it is initialised?)
How do we get the NFS patches that Jim puts into his
supplied ltsp3.0.3 kernels?
Is there any way to pause the output to the screen during
this process? The Scroll Lock and Pause keys do not seem
effective.
