Sure, I already asked Steve to do that, so agree with him to build it. Don't forget to enable NFSROOT, ISOFS, RARP & BOOTP options. If you will be able to package it before friday evening I will be very thankful to any of you. Thanks in advance. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.

Then I can test it easily. I'm much more confident that 0.8.6-1 will correct this bug. Anyway, someone must try both of them, and let me know (I haven't an ultra machine). I have seen a lot of people downloading it from ftp.prosa.it, but I have never received any feedback. ciao -- Davide Barbieri [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.prosa.it/ - commercial opensource support [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.debian.org/ - opensource linux distribution

Committing to the branch isn't going to get your changes into the trunk unless I do a merge. Committing to the trunk won't get onto the branch, period (that's the point of the branch). > :-(( More on this > topic: how do you manage to bring some fixes from your branch to the > main trunk ? Is there any magic cvs command ? No. Just ask me to do another merge from the branch to the trunk and I'll do it. Do you want me to do that? It's not a command, it's a workflow. It's pretty tricky and I prefer to do it myself. OTOH, I am not really in a position to burn new slink boot-floppies for i386 since I don't seem to have any access to tecra kernels.

I think I shoud. Sure it may have problems, but it's better than 2.2.1, right? And the kernel source for slink has been updated from 2.2.1 to 2.2.5. > Oops, forgot it. > I downloaded both silo 0.8.5-4 & 0.8.6-1 from ftp.prosa.it few hours ago, but > which one should I use ? Which one will be put in 2.1r3 anyway ? I dunno -- if 0.8.5-4 fixes the nasty bug on Ultra5s and Ultra10s that hit me (Bug#34896) then I guess that one would be the one for slink.

They should be in /boot in the respective packages - they are also in the debian dir of the source package for those kernels. It might help to make sure LEO support is enabled in the sparc32 kernel. (If there is an option in 2.2.5. Build the ultra kernel with: make-kpkg --subarch=sun4u --arch_in_name kernel_image (If you build this after the 32-bit one, make sure you remove stamp-configure first - and it wouldn't hurt to make sure include/linux/modules is empty.) Oh, and the 2.2.5 kernel _might_ not work with the 3.3.3.1 X servers (when I release them) on some machines - I'm not sure when the appropriate patches were applied. (The trouble would be with Ultra's and maybe LEO machines.) Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BTW, how should I commit my patches ? Either I completely missed the point about getting the "adam-boot-floppies_2-1_branch" branch or my last fixes (dated from 99/04/13) about 2.2 kernel support were not put in the tree.
