I know I'm getting off topic but I don't know a better place to ask and this subject might be interesting of other developers as well.

I don't get these warnings when I use CC=gcc-2.95. It's a little bit difficult to trace warnings and errors during a kernel compilation. I'd be good if warnings and error where duplicated into a log file. I'm trying to build a kernel with framebuffer support for the Matrox G400 card but I always get "open /dev/fb0: No such device" when I use fbset. A week ago I added a new 123GB harddisk to my system, installed a new Debian 3.0r1 and upgraded to the current Sarge. But since then I can't use framebuffer anymore while with the old system I used it for about 2 years. For building I use the same settings (make menuconfig) as before, so it should work unless there are any hidden settings in 2.4.21. The command: ls -la /dev/fb0 crw--w---- 1 root video 29,0 Mar 14 2002 /dev/fb0 seems to be correct as much as I know. I've tried to config each setting new, I also installed the kernel-image-2.4.21-3-k6 but nothing helps. What can I do to fix this situation? O.
