[parisc-linux] Woody and new kernel

[Christian Schmitt]

Hi,

i am using a 710 here (quite old, but interesting) with Woody installed. Since 
it has the 2.4.17-32 kernel supplied, I would like to update it to 2.4.19. I 
downloaded the vanilla kernel sources but it does not compile with the 
gcc-3.0.4. Do I have to use the special -pa kernel from cvs or should it also 
work with the normal kernel sources? The main reason for this update is to get 
the HIL mouse working.
