Does anyone have a .config to configure a kernel that is stable on the G4 sawtooth? I have the current stable source but every kernel I compile freezes and corrupts my root file system. If anyone has one will you please mail it to me? Ryan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

The .config that comes with Paul's tree (via rsync) should compile and run your sawtooth just fine. It worked for me... If you are using that one and still having problems, you may want to do some more investigation.

2.3 or 2.2? The 2.2.15pre3 that Ben H. built (any recent iBook kernel) is rock solid. I have no advice on 2.3....

I have tried the regular defconfig that comes with tree. With that one it said kernel stack overflow when I was booting. Then I tried the pmac_defconfig and it said that the pc had reached memory out of bounds. Finally I took the defconfig from ben H's 2.2.15pre3 kernel and went through the whole make config process using ben's config as a guide. The kernel I got out of this booted successfully but as soon as I logged in it said kernel stack overflow and froze up. I know that Ben's configuartion works because I am using his kernel right now. So I am at a loss as to why I can't compile a kernel that works. I just rsynced the source right before I tried these so it is about as new as possible. If anyone has figured this out before or has any ideas what's causing the stack overflow let me know. Thanks. -Ryan
