Sorry for not jumping in yet, but I had to concentrate on some time consuming gcc-2.96 and glibc-2.2 issues to get things going. Do you have by any chance a CHRP machine? I haven't touched chrp_setup.c yet. If not, what exact kernel are you using? BTW, there will be a new xf4 RPMs available soon. Franz. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
