kernel-source-2.4.20-3woody.5
Hi, I'm trying to compile via 'make-kpkg kernel-image' the above kernel on an U5 running woody (apt updated, 2.4.19). I've configured the kernel with 'make menuconfig' selecting only what is sensible for my configuration. (If useful can post it) I keep bumping into issues with modules namely: cp :cannot stat `input.o`: No such file etc. Is this a know issue? Is there something specific that needs to be set for sparc? Help will be appreciated as the current 2.4.20 image fails with ethernet drivers (2.4.19 is OK apart of the clock issue).

Help with SS20/SX (cg14) on woody
Hi, I'm trying to update a few sparcs from RH6.2 to woody 3.0 On a SS20/SX (vsimm 8MB) I'm currently unable to get xfree working. (machine was fine with RH and is happy with Solaris 2.8). The problem is identical on the three kernels I tried (2.2.20 up, 2.2.20 smp, 2.4.20 smp from osinvestor). Attached are the XFree config and log files. Basically I selected cg14 unselected all options (with all otpions did not work either) gave Sun GDM17E10 specs, tried both 24 and 8 bit settings, tried different resolutions (even as low as 800x600) nothing seems to work. I tried the kernel framebuffer driver with no luck as well. Xfree is updated to the revision 16 for woody. Any help will be quite appreciated as there are 6 other machines to update and the beginning is not so good.
