Hi,
I'm trying to track down a khttpd problem.
khttpd was solid in Hard Hat Linux 2.0 on ppc405,
it's stable on the x86 (at least after my recent patch),
and it's (mostly) stable on the imac running plain old 2.4.18.
However, it seems to have serious problems on ppc405
with 2.4.17 and on from linuxppc_2_4_devel.
I'd like to try older linuxppc_2_4_devel kernels
until I find where the problem started.
I guess I'll have to work my way backwards, since I don't know
when ppc405 support stabilized in that tree.
How far back should I expect to be able to go?
BTW, here's the cheesy script I'm using to fetch old kernel versions;
I'm relying on the v2.4.xx tags.
look into 'bk export' instead of the script.
I believe the tags are off the base Linux kernel and they have never
worked for the 405gp.
The recent trees have been working for me but there have been a lot
of changes to try to get a common OCP framework.

Hmm. I tried
$ bk export -rv2.4.14 bk://ppc.bkserver.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel mylinux
but it failed with
Cannot find package root.
Can some bk expert suggest the right command for grabbing a plaintext
version of the linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel corresponding roughly to
2.4.xx?

Oh. Do you have any suggestions for how to retrieve 'ok' older
versions of the tree? I can grab as of a date, but I imagine
I'd have to be fairly picky about the date to get something good.

(OCP has to do with the built-in peripherals?) BTW,
I don't even need to get ethernet working; the bug I'm
after occurs even with loopback. All I need working
is the serial port and the core kernel.
