Mmh - Geert's 2.6.37 does work just fine for me; I'll better get your
patches applied to a vanilla kernel and see how that differs from
2.6.37-m68k. vanilla plus the git branch m68k-queue _should_ just get
us to 2.6.37-m68k, right?
I applied all of m68k-queue and for-linus of that day (which is the
signal patchset for both m68ks and the rest of the queue) but on top
of a 2.6.37-1~experimental.1 Debian kernel.
for-linus is what I would have missed ...
for-linus is a always[*] subset of m68k-queue, so you can ignore it.
Good - I've unpacked the 2.6.37.experimental source and ran
dpkg-buildpackage -b -am68k on it up to the point where it fails
because I haven't got a cross-gcc-4.4 installed (flavors restricted to
atari only!). At that point, to my limited understanding of the kernel
build process, all patched ought to have been applied.
The good news is that the Atari SCSI driver is up to the latest git
version. But we had discounted that option already anyway.
The only patch that has been missed, but may be relevant for Atari still:
16 bit FAT default for GEMDOS:

I'd suggest I first test that this option is still required - will
have to sacrifice a spare SCSI disk for that.
So for all intents and purposes, Thorsten and I are using the same
source. I will still build the patched Debian source using my
toolchain, but I just cannot see why it would not work.
Heh well. I’ve had fun times buying an IDE drive with less than 1024
cylinders, floppies, and printer paper (not loose pages like copier
paper they use nowadays, no, real 21x30.48cm endless paper) too ;-)
Floppies is a dark chapter indeed. I salvage floppies wherever I find
them. Will see about the 1024 cylinder limit though.
Guys, what are you smoking?
I gave up smoking quite a few years back :-)
I was pleasantly surprised when my Amiga detected a "540 MB" drive, as the
one I bought was advertised as a "524 MB" drive. Turned out due to MS-DOS
supporting only 1024 cylinders, while the Amiga saw 1057 ;-)
I have to admit I bought this drive in 1993, not yesterday.
Slightly difficult to get a 540 MB drive anywhere these days - even
USB memory sticks have outgrown the MB range for a while now :-)
Currently in use on the Falcon:
hda: 2814336 sectors (1440 MB) w/128KiB Cache, CHS=2792/16/63
So I should not need to worry about the cylinder numbers ...
Cheers,
Michael
