Damn it, I did well but it was the stuff for you. I am sure it will help some one else :-) > I'm compiling kernels since 1.9.X (don't remember exactly) on INTEL and > Sparc, but never did on parisc. So I did the following: I hope you have time.

If you just want to update your kernel, you just do apt-get update apt-get upgrade # in order to get the last gcc version after that, you follow what I said about make menuconfig... I tested this way of producing kernel a long time ago. I am sure it will be ok. FYI, the ramdisk or NFSroot is needed if you do a make palo but you do only make vmlinux! > PS-OT: I wonder if SAP will port their application server to parisc/Linux... I really do not know. Perhaps, Helge Deller will know :) Good Luck anyway, Thomas. ESIEE Team
