I wanted to say (sorry for my english): "My trouble 'are spontaneus 
reboots'. Someone said
that with kernels > 2.4.18-6 no reboots happen. So I want to upgrade the 
kernel (but I can't
because new rpms do not compile under ppc): the problem is spontaneus 
reboot.

Maybe mine is 2.4.18-6mdk too.

The ones we're actually using should just fine.

No one said that about the kenrels under ppc.  Most of the time they
won't compile without some patching and some fixing.

We're using kernel-2.4.18-6.2 under PPC for 8.2.  I don't think Stew had
done any work on 7 to try and make it work right under PPC.

So use the right kernel.

kernel.src.rpm: when a ppc compilable release?

2002-04-22 Thread Miguel Beccari

Hi everybody,

Just want to know when kernel source packages will compile under ppc.

My trouble is always "spontaneus reboot", and someone said new kernels 
are rock solid.
I am using kernel-2.4.18-7 (the last compilable under ppc) and 
"spontaneus reboots" happen ratherly (once a day).
With old kernels (2.4.17 and prior) I had 5, 6 reboots per day.

It is not a good thing: my G3 runs as fileserver and has to be always up.

I've already posted the console errors I saw just few seconds earlier 
the reboot (in the logs nothing useful).
