- I found the 2.0.30 patch set last night (I was looking in the wrong place.
- mea culpa) and installed it into a copy of the standard tree. Patch went
- fine except that it tries to patch a file called something like
- kernel.syms, which doesn't exist. So I skipped it.
-
- Is it supposed to be able to compile for non-RPC machines? Just
- wondering, since the very first file compiled fails with an error. Also,
- no distinction is made between ARM2 & ARM3, despite the fact that ARM3 can
- SWP and ARM2 cannot. Likewise, the config.in does not query for machine
- type and assumes RPC. I added the ability to query, and autoset the CPU
- type based on machine type, but I'm not sure of the value of submitting
- this patch back if 2.0.30 isn't designed to compile on these machines.
- Don't take this personally, Russell, I do appreciate the work you've put
- into Linux, but if I don't report the problems that I find, they might
- never get fixed.
