Hello from Gregg C Levine
The title says it all. While attempting to make an image for the 440gx
chipset, I came across an error message that I thought was fixed. It's
my guess, that my version of the GNU assembler of 2.9.10.1 is too old to
properly resolve the symbols being created. But I'd like a different
opinion. Any of them. I am working from a tarball downloaded from Eric's
site. That is from the ftp site maintained by Eric W. Beiderman, and it
concerns itself with the l440gx board setup. It is named
l440gx-buld-13-nov-2001.tar.gz. I suspect it was created for a specific
design as it has an image made up for an Intel network card, one of
their better ones. I am simply interested in opinions here folks on my
problems. I am going to grab a newer version of the binary utilities for
Slackware, and continue from there. As you know now, I am using
Slackware Linux for this, and its their working collection between 7.1
and 8.0.
