Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi Gabriel, today I tried to upgrade the system to 2.2.9 using your new patches, but I had some problem when I tried to compile the kernel. I downloaded the sources and then I applied the mvme2600.generic-patch-2.2.9 and mvme2600.vme-patch-2.2.9. At the make distclean command I get this error: make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.9/arch/ppc/mbxboot' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.9/arch/ppc/prepboot' Makefile:74: .depend: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.depend'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.9/arch/ppc/prepboot' make: *** [archclean] Error 2 I also copied also mvme2600.config.nfsroot as .config; make oldconfig worked, but make dep gave me the same error: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.9/arch/ppc/prepboot' Makefile:74: .depend: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.depend'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory ` make: *** [archdep] Error 2 It seems that I'm missing the .depend file that does not have in the /usr/src/linux-2.2.9/arch/ppc/prepboot directory, when I have it in the /usr/src/linux-2.2.6/arch/ppc/prepboot; can I use this last? And just another question, more general; to install the system I started from the rpm packages that I find in a LinuxPPC mirror site (they were a pre-R5), but I had some problem with this "rough" installation: for example I had to remove the Unix pty support otherwise I cannot login in to the board using telnet. Now it seems impossible to use sockets to communicate with other computer (a client program that is working perfectly between two PC, o when stasted from the board, cannot connect to the server on the board from an external computer). So there is a standard distribution to use for these board? or a standard procedure to have a clean installation? And there is somewhere an iso image for such a distribution (I would like to put everyting on a CDrom)?
