RE: Recommendation for kernel/compiler versions on CS20?
Thank you for the information. I'm now running an SMP kernel-image from one of the debian security update mirrors, so apparantly someone else was able to get it to work: Linux version 2.2.22 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 SMP It turns out that none of the pre-built kernel-images from Debian 2.4.18* (generic or SMP) are able to see my IDE drive, as they all complain about IDE driver and SCSI driver PCI conflicts (same system works with 2.2.22 generic & SMP). I'll pass on compiling my own kernel for a while, at least until I find out how to solve the missing IDE drives.

UP kernels, though, worked. Maybe it is a good idea set up a chroot with e.g. a minimal testing environment and compile a kernel (e.g. a 2.4.x-kernel) there.

Recommendation for kernel/compiler versions on CS20?
I was just given a couple DS20L(CS20), but I cannot seem to get any version of the kernel to compile that doesn't panic trying to mount the root fs. For now, I'm running a pre-packaged 2.2.20-generic (20021219) 3.0r1 'woody', and gcc 2.95.4. I've tried to build (2.2.20, 2.2.22) without SMP to avoid what I've seen about SMP issues, but no luck. Is there a chance someone could help me out with identifying a functional semi-stable kernel version, compiler, maybe even a .config that is known to work on a CS20?
