Now I need to support my Adaptec 2940UW and the Dec FDDI cards. Both of
those are standard in the 2.0.25 kernels. I got the approriate patches
off the net, applied them to the sources, configured a new kernel, and it
built. I copied the vmlinux to / and gziped it. I also grabbed milo
2.0.25 from gatekeeper, and set up two OSs in the ARC loader, one that
loads my Red Hat kernel with Red Hat Milo and one that loads my new
kernel (2.0.25) with the Dec (2.0.25) Milo.
Unforetunely, I can't get my newly compiled kernel to boot. Milo starts
up, does its hardware check and finds the NCR card (I haven't even
plugged in the Adaptec yet) and its devices. I then see the hash marks
(loading my kernel I would assume) but right after that it resets back
to Milo.
Other than that I'm not sure what else is worth mentioning. I've been
having a lot of stability problems with the 2.0.18 kernel. I'll be
building away and it will hang. It'll be linking vmlinux and claim Oops
couldn't page in virtual address xxxx. Lots of weird behavior. I hope
there isn't some hardware problem making this whole thing more difficult.
I'm stuck at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
