- Hello fellow kernel makers!
-
- Questions: 1) With 0.98pl6 and LILO 0.6 (can't get 0.7 to compile),
- should I use the US keyboard in Makefile if I am
- resident of USA. I know this sounds stupid, but with
- "vmlinux" kernel I got with GCC, emacs arrow keys work.
- With mine, they don't.
-
- 2) Again, 0.98pl6 and LILO 0.6; I have tried every
- combination I can think of in Makefile with SVGA...
- variable. Still I get weird 132 column text mode
- on my paradise VGA card. More frustrating still,
- I can't get my image to prompt for video type when
- booting. I tried commenting out the variable to
- no avail...
-
- My config: 1) 486/33 AMI motherboard, AMI BIOS
- 2) Paradise VGA (no SVGA)
- 3) GCC distribution of Linux. Laid "libc.so.4.2" and
- "inc41.tar" on top. No SLS stuff being used at this
- time.
-
- Note: 1) Kernel compiles quite easily, just would like to kill
- bugs listed in "Questions" above.
-
-
- Any takers? Sure would appreciate it!
