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?

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.

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.
