I'm down to just a multiple definitions error. Do you suspect I'll still have lots of trouble with the 2.3.47 sources if I get them to build on my PowerMac 7500? I know in the past that Paul stuff has been infinitely better for PowerMacs while the kernel.org code simply wouldn't even run. I'm hoping though that for a simple long time supported PowerMac 7500 that the 2.3.47 sources should at least work better than my current 2.2.13pre15 kernel. Specifically I want to see that the darn ppp kernel freeze bug has gone away since I use PPP so critically. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
