RE: [parisc-linux] 715/33 disk and kernel make dep problems

RE: [parisc-linux] 715/33 disk and kernel make dep problems

[Scammell, David]

Will try that tonight.

I managed to compile 2.4.6-pa21 out of cvs a few days ago,
same problem. A new version of make came down from debian
a few days ago which may of helped the make dep problems,
however it still stops, the scsi problems may affect make
dep possibly, even though i'm compling over nfs.

I've not had time to change the sync speed between crashes
but i'll get there.

Sorry there is no oops yet, I'm using an X terminal with
the serial line plugged in for the console.

BTW 2.4.6-pa21 does not appear to listen for console input,
at least not during the interactive fsck phase following a
crash, did that break recently?

regards
Dave

There are some problems with console input atm.  Graphical console
k/b doesn't work on several machines, and when I tried a 2.4.6 based
installer the other day with serial console, the k/b was dead at
the start of stage two install (could have been the installer had
just crashed, of course).

I'll be trying to track down the serial console problem with the
installer next week.

[parisc-linux] Downloading kernel source

[Peter Weilbacher]

Hi,

is there a place to download the more or less current kernel source
(as tarball)? A few weeks ago I was trying to get it via CVS, but
that took hours, and I finally realized that I got the wrong one...
I wanted to give it a new try with JFS...

Greetings,
	Peter.

I'm working on kernel-image packages for upload to the Debian mirrors right
now.  One of the side-effects is that the Debian source package will contain
a mostly-current tarball that is a snapshot of the code from CVS.  

Until I get this done, I'm not sure what other options exist.

Hi Peter,                                                             
                                                                      
          When I need the archive of hppa-linux, I go there:          
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cvs/                          
                                                                      
It is updated when you have a new extraversion, if I am right         
                                                                      
Hoping that it will be useful, Thomas
