Re: how to building a custom kernel in Debian sid

2020-06-18 Thread Jeroen Diederen

Hi,

I did some extensive hardware testing and I found out that my DIMM RAM 
module is not ok. You were right Adrian, thanks!

If you are seeing segmentation faults during a normal kernel compile,
you most likely
have bad memory or other hardware problems. Segmentation faults should
never happen
during a normal kernel build, even if you mess up the documentation.

Can someone please give me a link to documentation that will lead to 
success?

All I want is a ppc64 kernel with 4K PAGES to test nouveau on my iMac 
G5 with nVidia card.


I haven't had the time to work on the PowerPC stuff lately and since
there is no one willing
to help with the port at the moment, things are taking longer.

Adrian

"mess up the configuration", not documentation.

how to building a custom kernel in Debian sid

2020-06-16 Thread Jeroen Diederen
Hi all,

I tried several times to build a custom kernel in Debian sid. Each time I get 
segmentation faults or other errors and automatic building in pbuilder also 
does not work.
Can someone please give me a link to documentation that will lead to success?

All I want is a ppc64 kernel with 4K PAGES to test nouveau on my iMac G5 with 
nVidia card.

Best regards,
Jeroen Diederen
