Hi, I too would like to know if somebody has this kernel running. Jack Howarth wrote:

Hello, There are several problems with the current bitkeeper unstable kernel tree. The first two our compilation problems which can be fixed if someone with write access to bitkeeper will submit these two patches...--- linuxppc_2_3/drivers/input/adbhid.c.org Mon Aug 14 22:59:01 2000 +++ linuxppc_2_3/drivers/input/adbhid.c Mon Aug 14 22:59:36 2000
[] This one has been mentioned on the list already. I hope someone (Paul?) will listen this time. The same thing goes for the following patch which has been published several times but not applied:

[] This one has been included in the bitkeeper kernel in the meantime. On the other hand, the corresponding changeset introduced another bug by changing the type of the function find_via_cuda() from void to int, but only its declaration in the header file include/linux/cuda.h and not its definition in drivers/macintosh/via-cuda.c. Doesn't compile.
The third problem is more serious. The resulting kernel gets stuck in the Freeing unused kernel memory stage. This is similar to the problem Geert mentioned earlier on the mailing list.
Mine gets stuck after saying "arch: exit" and before switching from the prom console to the fb console (no penguin). -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
