Paul's devel branch on Lombard?

Paul's devel branch on Lombard?

[Shaw Terwilliger]

I'm using Pauls' stable branch (2.2.12) from his rsync archives
on my Lombard PowerBook.  I've wanted to use the power management
features in the new kernels, but I have yet to build a kernel that
fully boots.  

As of today's kernel sources, it boots but pulls a Machine Check in 
one of my init scripts.  Each time I boot it, it does in a different place.
The attached dump is failing on the "exim" script ("S20exim").

I'm using the same kernel configuration I'm using for 2.2.12 (which
works great from the SCSI to the modem to the framebuffer to USB),
but 2.2.12 doesn't offer sleep mode.  :)

A hand-typed dump appears below.  I'll send my .config if it would
help.

Machine check in kernel mode.

I have not had this problem with building Paul's 2.2.12 kernel.  I did not use
a config file from a previous version, which sounds like the major difference
between us.

Or:  which version of gcc are you using?  I'm using the gcc from the fsirl
directory on dev.linuxppc.org, and the glibc and related files from the same
site.

The problem is not with the 2.2.12 kernel, but with the 2.3.16 branch in
his "devel" archive.  The "stable" branch is working like a champ for me.
I'm sorry if I didn't make that very clear in my message (I had just
spent three minutes writing down all those addresses).  :)

If it matters, I'm using GCC from the Debian Potato branch (which I have
installed).  I believe it's just EGCS 1.1.2 release; but it's building 
2.2.12 great, 2.3.16 just isn't building.  I guess it's possible there's
a 2.3 kernel problem with the compiler, although I don't see any problems
in the builds.

Has anyone built kernels (either 2.2 or 2.3) with GCC 2.95?  I'd build a new
compiler (even just to try) if I could build the newest one.  :P

I build mine with 2.95, from the fsirl directory on dev.linuxppc.org.

Here is my /proc/version:

root[432]#cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.3.16 (root@chezmoi) (gcc version 2.95.1 19990816
(release)) #63 Sun Sep 5 17:09:44 CEST 1999
root[433]#uptime
 10:57pm  up 4 days,  3:48,  5 users,  load average: 0.26, 0.14, 0.10

Kernel 2.3.16 is from cvs@openprojects, with 2 little patches to make it
compile and to recognize my ethernet card. I'll reboot in a minute to
try 2.3.17.

Compiler is a mixture of F. Sirl's patch and spec file with the
"official" 2.95.1 tar.gz file.

I tried 2.3.16 last week (from cvs from openprojects), and had similar
machine check problems on boot.  It _did_ seem to recognize all my
hardware (perhaps the BMAC did not work, but I couldn't tell, it wouldn't
stay up that long).  

If I use the CVS kernel, will I _need_ 2.95, or will EGCS 1.1.2 work?

I think there is even some explicit warning somewhere that
gcc-2.95-compiled kernels are bad for your health or something. If you
ask Linus (or read Documentation/Changes), you are told to use
gcc-2.7.2.3, no kidding.

2.3.17 is now running, although I had to recompile it once; make
oldconfig had eaten my CONFIG_ADBMOUSE. Someone is playing games with
the config options. In make menuconfig, the "APPLE DESKTOP MOUSE" is
marked as "NEW". Mine doesn't look very new anymore :-)

It probably changed to CONFIG_ADB_MOUSE.  This may be a side-effect of the
ADB merger between Linux/m68k and LinuxPPC.

Yes it did, and yes it is.  I have the merged ADB stuff in my
linux-pmac-devel tree now.

Always run `make oldconfig' after updating your kernel sources, to make sure
you catch the new options.

Recommended compiler versions in Documentation/Changes apply to ia32 only.

Woops, didn't read thit that well. So please forgot about my former suggestion
to run `make oldconfig' :-)

I try to use always 'make oldconfig'. But sometimes this doesn't work
correctly, like in the case of the adbmouse or in 2.3.16 for the Apple
partitions. 
But now the big ADB merger is arriving, and everything is different
again. Curious if 2.3.18 will compile... (1 minute later: No, this is
not yet finished)
