The >tree at penguinppc.org::linux-pmac-devel has this bug fixed. Thanks, Paul, Ben and Peter for the friendly responses. Yes, that line does look a little odd. I did finally get things working by using the BitKeeper archives for my build (the penguinppc site is currently unavailable) and it came up fine. Is there an easy way to compare the current source tree with the previous version? Is there a way to get the previous version and brute force it? I got in this mess partly because using rsync means you can't go back. Had I been able to go back to test9 easily, I would have, and waited for the fix. But as it was, I ended up going back to 2.2.17, largely because it was available. There was a silver lining to all this: my current setup now boots and runs cleaning with both 2.2.17 final and 2.4.0-test10 with devfs mounted at boot. Forgive what must surely seem like trivial problems; I am only slowly becoming informed about kernel organization and distribution. Many thanks to all. - Scott ----------------------------- Scott Hankin (shankin@rational.com) In the beginning, there was nothing, then Rational Software God said, "Let there be light."
