[parisc-linux] Linux 2.3

[Matthew Wilcox]

Everyone should now switch development to the linux 2.3 tree which is
in CVS.  How do you do this?

Set your CVSROOT as described on the pages.
cvs co linux-2.3
cd linux-2.3
(fetch a ramdisk.bin and put it in this directory)
make oldconfig
make dep
make Image
cp arch/parisc/boot/Image to wherever you tftpboot from.
Watch your machine crash.

It may get as far as a prompt for you; but even if it doesn't, it should
still get quite some way.  Many configurations will not work, and some
may not compile; I ensured that the defconfig will at least link.

Could someone please update the procedure of saving
the whole cvs tree linux-2.3 to
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cvs/ as a
tar.gz file for initial cvs checkout ?

Done; I'm forcing the script to run now, it should appear on the FTP
site within a few minutes.  The tree will also appear in Bonsai within
the hour.

There've been rumors of a shell prompt with 2.3 but I haven't seen it.

Apparently there are still some secrets not widely shared about how
to make this stuff work which I don't know yet, but attached is a
.config file which at least caused me to see some output (and no
shell prompt).  Run this
with a linux command line including "console=tty".  After some
somewhat sane output minicom gets pretty confused :-)  It works
better on a graphics console than on serial.
