Sorry - Bad advice. Kyle McMartin just reminded me that none of the 2.6.13 kernels will boot because of issues with CONFIG_PDC_STABLE=y. I'll see if someone (me?) can fix this issue or disable the option in the next -pa2 test kernel. I've been running self-built kernels with CONFIG_PDC_STABLE=n. I'm not game to advise somehow how to build their own kernels right now. I've posted a tarball of my 32- and 64-bit 2.6.13-rc3-pa1 kernel on: ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/kernels/a500/2.6.13-rc3-pa1-64SMP.tgz ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/kernels/c3000/2.6.13-rc3-pa1-32UP.tgz These will NOT work on c240 or other CCIO/GSC/Dino machines. Folks with older workstations will have to wait until the bug in hwpath_to_device() is fixed (used by CONFIG_PDC_STABLE=y) or build their own kernels with CONFIG_PDC_STABLE=n. sorry about that, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
