It is less dangerous than -test8 insofar as it doesn't boot :-) It compiles if one upgrades arch/ppc/kernel/time.c to, for example, the one from Paul's linux-pmac-devel tree. But it doesn't recognize my SCSI disk. I think it's a feature of -test9-pre4 that SCSI is broken. This is patched in pre5 or pre6. So I'll wait or use Paul's drivers/scsi directory... -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
