The file atyfb.c is only used if CONFIG_FB_ATY. Do you need that? If not, just unconfigure it, I suppose. Edmund

It also provides you tilo required to build tftpboot image for both sparc32 and sparc64 at the same time. Regards. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.

No clue about this :-( Maybe somebody can help...? > I also tried to create a tftpboot from the potato kernel-image but I'm not > able to make it ;-(. Your Sun can only boot from an A.OUT image- however, the kernel image is ELF binary format. (Also, this will be the format of every kernel you compile youself.) You may "check" this (in a rather sloppy way) by issuing a file Result will be "ELF binary". Solution: You have to convert your image into A.OUT. For this, use the "elftoaout" utility from the netboot package: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-sparc/net/netboot_0.8.1-1.1.deb If you have compiled the kernel yourself, it will probably be gzipped. SILO can handle this, but elftoaout can't. So uncompress the image first! You can also glimpse at the mailimg list archives, Eric explained the whole thing to me some time ago... :-) (Thanks again!) -- cya ANDI
