Description Guillaume 2002-08-12 11:42:21 UTC
Hi,

I want to suggest you to make a new release of the ppc-sources package including
the latest kernel (either stable or BenH tree). Your kernel is not compiling as
long as I want to include the driver for my video card (rage 128 mobility).

A couple of additional macintosch features are enabled in the benh tree.

Take a look at:
http://ppckernel.org/

Best regards,
    Guillaume

The ppc-sources is based on benh kernel fro a short time ago, and this is the
first report of failure for the r128 compiling (I use it on several mahcines
with the r6 kernel myself)...

is maybe something else missing?  Do you have the errors when it fails to
compile and/or a log?
Comment 2 Mark Guertin 2002-08-12 15:26:10 UTC
Also wanted to add, FWIW, I am the build maintainer and host the build machines
for ppckernel.org ;)

Also there is a new ppc-soruces release coming soon.

Builds correctly. Tried on 4 differant systems. Unable to replicate. 

User most likely has improper use flags, or not including agpgart support for 
R128 in kernel. 

Closing.
Comment 4 Guillaume 2002-08-12 16:44:21 UTC
I've just tried to rebuild it, but I cannot reproduce the bug with my current
kernel configuration. probably mixed something up with some other configuration
option (not agpgart).

Guillaume

PS: Mark Guertin: think about adding the network driver in your next round  of
builds (but you already got mail about that ;-))
