Hello, As you may already know, there has been a security issue discovered, which was fixed for debian/woody in : http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-440 for the 2.4.17 kernels. That said, the 2.4.20 kernel used in the testing/unstable -apus kernels was not fixed, and has furthermore been mostly ignored since june 2003 or so, security wise. I think the debian security team thought that those were already built from the powerpc kernels, and didn't need a apus specific package, thus never adviced Michel. Backporting 6 month of fixes to 2.4.20 would be lot of work, work most probably more meaningful to spend integrating the apus patches into the powerpc package, or forward port them to 2.4.24 or 2.4.25. Ok, what i really want to know if there is an idea of how many people still use apus, and of those, how many use the debian kernels, and from those, which distribution and which kernel do you use. Geert, is the linux-m68k/linux-apus counting web page still active ? Furthermore, i don't have apus hardware anymore, so i would welcome someone who would like to test those kernels for me, once i build them. Simon, maybe you could do that ? Which kernels do you use ? Friendly, Sven Luther |

Where's the one for APUS? The one for m68k was last updated in 2000 (sic): http://www.linux-m68k.org/Registry/Registration.html > Furthermore, i don't have apus hardware anymore, so i would welcome > someone who would like to test those kernels for me, once i build them. > Simon, maybe you could do that ?

Hello Sven, I would use the APUS Debian kernel if I could get it working. The only way I can get a successful boot of the installation is if I disable all the hwclock stuff. The history of how I arrived at that is on the Linux Apus Mailing list.

Hello, I have made a new upload of the debian 2.4.25 apus kernel, and altough i havent tested it, well, it mostly uses the same config as was used previously. It is taken from the apus CVS tree from 4 days ago. Could you perhaps check it, and if it works, fine, but if it doesn't work, could you compare the config file included with it with the config file you use, and could we work together to solve this ? BTW, i also upgraded the ASFS driver to 1.0beta2, which contains the experimental write support. Friendly, Sven Luther |

Hello Sven, Thanks! I will give it a try - might be a few days (weeks?) though as I'm also studying in the evenings and my spare time is currently almost nil. Thanks again.

No problem, just keep in mind that the sarge release will not be delayed forever, and that i would really like that at least one person confirm this kernel as working before sarge is released.

Which kernels do you use ? Mmm, i wonder what is the latest 2.2 kernel to run apus ? Debian 2.2 apus kernel in woody is 2.2.10 only, while other powerpc is 2.2.20. Were the apus patches ported to later 2.2 kernels or were there problems with them ? Also, do someone of you still per chance has kernel-source-2.2.10 around ? Friendly, Sven Luther |
