We have ~25 MVME2400 just lying around here since they haven't been able to get VxWorks working properly on them yet. :) > I have a 2.2.16 kernel compiled but never booted, I could give you R/O > access to my BK trees if you want (but the machine on which they are is > not up 100% of the time). > > Gabriel.

I figured it was pointless to try to debug it on an old kernel. /Micke -- ml@epact.se ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
