Due to ongoing problems with IEEE1394/SBP2 with kernel 2.4.20
(specifically all of the up2date releases after 2.4.20-13.9 up to and
including 2.4.20-20.9, see bug # 92193) I was considering trying out a
Rawhide kernel (2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl.i686) but I'm not sure if
this will work at all with my fairly vanilla full install of RHL9 (has
anything really major changed in Rawhide, like incompatible gcc or
glibc?), and if it will, what other packages I'd need to install apart
from:
kernel-2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl.i686.rpm
kernel-doc-2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl.i386.rpm
What does the "nptl" suffix denote? Do I also need to install:
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13.i386.rpm
Anything else?
Is this, perhaps, just asking for trouble? I know I could compile my own
kernel, but I'm just trying to find a quick fix to get my Firewire drive
working again.
TIA.
Best, Darren
