Re: RPX Lite kernel

I'd still like to know if anyone has a working 2.2 kernel on the RPX Lite...  I'd compile one myself, but my B&W G3 LinuxPPC box

Well, I've heard horror stories about compiling "hello world" too,
but that doesn't mean it's particularly complicated. ;)

If "cross-compiling" from PPC I can't see why you should need to do
anything else than configure the kernel properly.
And this diff is all that is needed to cross-compile from ix86 Linux:

Thanks...  mkdep was taking over all my CPU/RAM on my machine, but it worked fine on another RedHat-5.2 box.  Now all I need is a
cross-compiler... any idea where I can get ppc-linux-gcc?

Binaries are out of date since I'm developing natively these days, but the
build process is documented there as well.

I tried recompiling gcc and binutils from RedHat's SRPMS, but encountered a plethora of errors.  The versions on your page worked
flawlessly.  Thanks a bunch, that saved me a lot of time and energy!!
