Recently folks here pointed out to me that it was known that gcc 2.95 is
not to be used for 2.2.x kernels.
Others said that it was OK with 2.2 kernels but not 2.0 kernels.

the latter statement, but it didn't seem real clear

I added a Maxtor 27GB 7200rpm ATA66 drive to my P200MMX when I upgraded to

My motherboard (ASUS TX97-E) only supports udma mode 2 (33MB/sec), but I

of about 9.4MB/sec with hdparm -t. Even if the n

I upgraded my slink system to potato and the 2.2.14 kernel. All is well so

I hope I'm sending this to the correct mirror administrator.
I'm getting the following error because the file
