I'm trying to build 2.6.4 kernel for the first time. I've tried the kernel.org sources and the debian UNSTABLE sources but both give me the same problems:
When I boot up, the framebuffer doesn't appear to be working. I get white screen with a bit of text in the top left hand corner. When X kicks in, I get the GDM login screen but my mouse and keyboard are not working and I have to hard reboot. I've tried different config options when building but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what to do next. I've also tried using Sven's 2.4.25-powerpc .config with very few changes (make oldconfig), but this produces the same result. I have installed the module-init-tools package. thanks Joss On Mon, Mar 22, 2004 at 03:23:43PM +0100, Jens Schmalzing wrote: > Hi, > > Martin Habets writes: > > > > I need kernel-headers-2.6.4-?
