MOL 0.9.68

2003-03-22 Thread Christian Walther
Stew, what sources are you using to build mol-0.9.68-3mdk.ppc.rpm (and  
-2mdk and kmods for benh-7mdk and benh-9mdk)? I'm having a problem with  
it that its author Samuel Rydh says has been fixed in the release  
0.9.68 version (keyboard behaving as if keys were still down after  
releasing them in Mac OS X, see  
http://lists.maconlinux.org/pipermail/mol-general/2003-March/ 
001368.html).

My original idea was trying to compile the release 0.9.68 myself, but I  
can't do that because I don't have the kernel headers for benh-9mdk in  
/usr/src/linux/include. I've looked at kernel-benh-2.4.20-9mdk.src.rpm,  
but it doesn't look to me as if I could easily get these headers out of  
it (Do all these patches have to be applied? The README says something  
about not placing stuff in /usr/src/linux... is that applicable? I  
don't have anything in /usr/src/linux.).

 -Christian

Saw that post.  It's the tarball Samuel announced, I think.

If you build kernel-benh from the source rpm, and then leave the tree in
your rpm/BUILD dir, the mol-kmods-benh should build against that.  That is
how I've been doing it, since I'm not shipping kernel-benh source or
headers.  All the appropriate srpms should be on my web space.

If you do make any progress with the OS/X keyboard issue, I'd like to hear
about it.  I don't have OS/X myself to test it.

Install parameters

2003-03-22 Thread Alex Horvath



Stew,

RC1, trying to do an FTP install. 
PowerComputing Powercentre 120, 112MB RAM, 2GB HD, onboard net.

First, I can't even get the installer to work 
properly unless I specify root=/dev/ram3

second, if I do that, I get corrupted 
video.

Third, if I put install-text before or after the 
root command, the installer won't work properly (it complains about the FS being 
read only)

Any ideas ?
