Yes, but dselect only has room for one Packages file in each of

Its not just this easy. I did it and upadated all packages.
AND compiled my kernel with gcc 2.8.1
Result:
Any graphics where fucked. (XFree86, SVGAtextmode, SVGAlib)
Then i downgraded to gcc 2.7.x - Everything works fine again.
I don't know, why this could happen.
Maybe gcc 2.8.1 does not compile the kernel properly or some libs where
fucked.
If anyone has an explanation for this problem - plz mail
Thanks,
Florian Attenberger

I don't know, why this could happen. Maybe gcc 2.8.1 does not compile the kernel properly or some libs where fucked. My current understanding of this problem is this: The ioport.c file in the kernel was written using the gcc documentation on the workings of its optimisation code. That documentation currently does not reflect gcc's internal workings accurately. Linus wants the gcc developers to decide which is wrong: the documentation or the code. You can circumvent the problem by using ioport.c from a recent 2.1.x kernel.

In this case, dists/frozen/* for hamm (and eventually dists/stable/* once hamm is released). dists/unstable/* is the new unstable (to become 2.1 (slink)). -- Joel Espy Kleckermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://web.espy.org/ Debian GNU/Linux Developer...http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
