Re: Problems with linuxppc_2_2 on an MVME-2400

The source used for that build can be retrieved from the Debian powerpc

Ahhh. Dselect only showed me the 2.2.15 part.

Note that it comes from a 22/04/2000 FSMLabs 2.2 tree.  Use BK to "checkout
for edit" files no later than 22/04/2000 in your rsynced version and you
might find that things work.  Source control _is_ useful. :)

Hmmm. I tried bk a bit but couldn't get it to give me a version from a
specific date.

Oh, and one more possibility is that the unified IDE patch helped matters
since I believe Dan J. ended up applying that to the Debian image builds.
The exact patch used was ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-powerpc/devel/kernel-patch-2.2.15-ide_20000405-1.deb

I tried these two patches. Using the
kernel-patch-2.2.15-powerpc_20000422-2.2.16pre4-1.deb gives me the
same result as before. Panic with moderate disk activity.

Using the kernel-patch-2.2.15-ide_20000405-1.deb I can't even boot.

I tried applying them both to a 2.2.15 kernel but that gives me too
many conflicts that I'm not smart enough to resolve.
