Are you trying to run a smp kernel? If so, the only one that I could get to
fire up right was 2.6.14.3... I had to roll some
of the netfilter stuff into the kernel, some of the modules didn't compile
well as stand a lone mods. Another thing, in smp
it doesn't fair to well under heavy load and heavy i/o. Just an FYI... for
everything else the smp kernel ran fine but
when ever I attempted to compile some software, and run 'make -j2', it would
just simply hang after several minutes...
sometimes not even that. On the other hand, if I ran 'systest' [a program
that caculates pi out to what ever number
you wish], it worked fine. I could fire up two threads and 1 would take one
cpu and 1 would take the other. After
calcuating some ungodly numbers, it never froze... So it seems to be
entirely related to how the kernel handles
hi cpu usage and hi i/o functions [reading/writing to drive, memory
allocation,load balancing]. WillieG

version from 2.6.15) but aboot freezes when I start it....
Just in case, do you have any hint/patch/whatever to make it run? It
seems that only AlphaCore can boot but I would like to avoid that
distro...
