I've run into a couple of small problems however.... planb.c has a problem in 2074. pb->lock = 0; pb->lock is defined as a semaphore so this gives the following compiler error... planb.c: In function `init_planb': planb.c:2074: incompatible types in assignment Next, when pppoe, ax25 or netrom are compiled as modules, trying to insmod them gives the following... # /sbin/insmod pppoe Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol sk_run_filter /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol unregister_pppox_proto_Re0ff7a18 /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol pppox_unbind_sock_Rdbcf0794 /lib/modules/2.4.9-benh0/kernel/drivers/net/pppoe.o: unresolved symbol register_pppox_proto_R7c123193 The problem appears to be sk_run_filter. Finally, though controlfb works, it doesn't work in X in 24/32 bit mode and 1024x768 resolution. It does however work in 800x600 mode at the same color depth and my 2.4.5 kernel patched from Michels site does work. By not working I mean it goes into X but gives a blank screen. Here is the dmesg for controlfb... controlfb: VRAM Total = 4MB (2MB @ bank 1, 2MB @ bank 2) controlfb: using video mode 16 and color mode 2. Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: control display adapter MacOS display is /chaos/control I'm trying to get the latest kernel working so I can do mace testing on current code.
