Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Merging CVS with Kernel source

[Mike G. <eb_...@sb...>]

Cool, thanks. Now, one more question...

I downloaded the 2.6.7 source, and got it patched to support the GC. 
make vmlinux compiles fine. But make zImage.initrd gives me the 
following error:

[tosk@cavalier ~/linux-2.6.7]$ make zImage.initrd
make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

Did I do something wrong?
