: I've been using the hackernel packages for nearly two monthes and
: compiled them under gcc 2.96 + glibc 2.1.9x/2.2. I would like to
: mention a few moments I've meet on these rpms. First that it is usual to
: find dependencies broken. Yes, a "make mrproper" helps but still the
: "fresh" source package is always suffering some of broken dependencies.
: Second why there is not an "original" i686 config? Today I think there
: are enough i686 around, to turn this architecture on, even if it does
: not make a big difference with i586. Anyway my experience shows that the
: i686 has worked 95-100% ok on a dual SMP machine. As a more specific
: note I can say that under hackkernel the following works on my hardware:
: SMP, Alsa, Ethernet, IP, IPX, NCP (connections to Novell 5), SMB,
: UDMA/66, DRM, lmsensors, i2c, etc.
:
: There are issues with reiserfs (it kills the kernel during large data
: transfer), with OSS (it breaks frequently, from build to build. It seems
: something is wrong with DMA code), and sometimes with v4l (modules get
: broken in relation to i2c).
: The motherboard is a Abit BP6 and I have an Avermedia TVPhone98. My
: soundcard is a GUS MAX.
:
: I general the machine works normally with only some unfrequent glitches
: on X under 16 bit color.
:
: Now I downloaded your last package and will give a try. Right now I'm
: fighting your options. First I would like to ask what are the chances to
: see reiserfs alive in a near future. Myself I've seeing reiser broken
: for at least a month.
:
: Second what is this kgcc option?
