Hi all, sorry, obviously forgot to "tar" with the "-h" option. The kernel patch-set is now repackaged with README and .config (same location). I wonder, why no one noticed their missing since Oct 17... For exactness' sake: the patches are based on linux-2.6.14-rc2-mipscvs-20050925 Maybe .config will enable compiling, the error-messages seem to point to a misconfiguration, since the compiler didn't touch any of the patched files yet. There's still a problem with the Xserver: often, when starting up the Xserver first after a cold boot, it likes to hang (in a loop, waiting for "dmabusy" to settle down, either in the kernel-driver or the Xserver itself, when re-mmapping the dma-buffer). Usually, after a reset the Xserver works okay. I couldn't find a solution for this yet, but otherwise (;-) i easily (can) use the machine for regular work (no more hangs after the Xserver started up once). kind regards pf On Sat, 10 Dec 2005, Stuart Longland wrote: > Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 00:39:40 +1000 > From: Stuart Longland <redhatter@xxxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: linux-mips-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: SGI IP28 Kernels... anyone had any luck lately? > > Hi all, > I'm not sure what's causing this error, could very well be PEBKAC, but > anyways. > > I've been striking issues getting kernels for my IP28 to compile.
