on top of this? Fuck damn they should be on top of this and the
68050/70 the natami is trying out, and bloody include talent like Carl
S and Dave H that know what the heck the 68k, electronics, and the
amiga is about....
For what it's worth - my m68k systems runs current linux kernel, 2.6.30,
compiled with gcc 4.2.4 just fine, and I have not see any slow-down,
apart from obvious things in bootup, like initiating udev, creating
nodes and similar things that have nothing to do with kernel itself. I
also make sure to compile my kernels with only the modules that makes
sense for the hardware I run it on.
What happened to devtmpfs I wonder.
My systems are one A1200 with Blizzard 1230III (030+882@50MHz) and 32MB
RAM, one A1200 with Blizzard 1260 (060@50MHz) and 64MB RAM, and one Mac
Quadra 910 (040@25MHz) with 64MB RAM. Oh and my build box, Aranym with a
040@100-180MHz depending on host at bootup, and for the time being,
256MB RAM (allthough, it is down ATM, fixing filesystem disaster after I
somehow managed to launch aranym twice on same disk image :P)
Can't file locking prevent that? Sounds like a bug...

The A1200 with Blizz1230III has been running more or less non-stop since
1997 with only a break now and then when moving between locations, being
installed into new tower solutions, and infrequent kernel updates,
I dont use debian though, I use gentoo since it gives me a tool
(portage) to build packages the way I want them, stripped where needed,
bloated for the things I care about. Almost everything is buildt -Os.
So, in the end, I'm not so sure that what you complain about is for
real.
