I hope you enjoy :) > However, when trying to compile a cvs checked-out kernel I'm always getting > ramdisk.bin not found. I searched the archives, found some notes on where to > find one but on the site specified there are no. First of all, a reminder about the CVS. You have all the infos about it at http://www.parisc-linux.org/tools/index.html#anoncvs After, for the cross-compiling, you need to download the xc here ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/LinuxX86/xc-latest.tgz You untar the archive from the / and add the path in your $PATH Something like that: export PATH=/opt/palinux/bin:$PATH #for bash, of course then you go in linux directory, you do make menuconfig with the good choice. then make dep vmlinux and you upload your kernel on the 712 via ftp. Till you are not sure of your compiling talents, the good idea is to copy the vmlinux file in /boot with a name slightly different of the old one. like that you have in /boot vmlinux-2.4.0 and vmlinux.2.4.0-new, for example. At the boot time, you press escape to enter in BOOT_ADMIN and type boot pri ipl and you modify the 0 entry to point the good file! That's all.
