Subject: Newer kernel?

I'm looking for a Mandrake/PPC kernel more recent than 2.4.4-6.2 - I
checked on rpmfind.net and saw a src.rpm for 2.4.8 - will this work??
 I'm having serious stability issues between Mac-on-Linux, kernel
2.4.4-6.2 and MacOS 9.1 ... don't know exaclty who is the culprit, but I
believe it may me the mm context stuff which changed in 2.4.6 - MOL has
adapted to the latest kernel series, so I have a feeling that what's in
there for older 2.4.x kernels is a kludge and that's causing the
instability.

I tried grabbing benh's 2.4 tree, but penguinppc is unreachable and Ben
says it probably won't be until next week when its available again.  If
someone has a recent 2.4 sync of benh's kernel that they wouldn't mind
packaging up ... or if Stew has a newer PPC kernel squirreled away
that's had the mdk patches applied ... either way, lemme know.

Thanks,
Brice




I have a sync of BenH's 2.4 kernel that's about 10 days old. If you are
interested I'll put it up on our anon ftp site.

  Do anyone feel that 8.0ppc was rushed out the door?

 Sadly, given that there are problems with MandrakeUpdate (lack of
 archetecture path in the updates dir path). 

It's a know problem with primary server. Problem is currently same with 
Intel version. It should be solved soon.


 Among other little things.

Which ones? Please give us feedback or we will not be able to fix them.

If you can, please report bugs here: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/. If 
you can't, report them here.


 However, IMHO it's still the best PPC distribution out there.

Thanks :-)
