2.4.0-test? woes

[Robert R. <ro...@pl...>]

  Hi!
 After some fighting i managed to boot selfcompiled 2.4.0-test4. I tried to
boot test7 and test8 but they didn;t work (bootmesg showed what seems to be
normal booting  while dmesg showed nothing at all). Right now i'm trying to
compile 2.4.0-test5 and see how it behaves. I guess that much of my trouble
is caused by some changes in pm2fb but jump from test4 to test8 is just too
overhelming to me (diff was just toooooo biiiiig). I also suspect that there
might be something more than just that.
 My question: Is anyone running anything more than 2.4.0-test4 on C/BVision ?
 If so can i have .config, please?

 I guess that simply copying drivers/video/pm2fb.* from one kernel tree to
another won't work as some changes might be done in other files that affect
this.

 The second part is a bit Debian specific i suspect. I've installed 4.0.1
debs available from Branden Robinson webpage when i;m running 2.4.0-test4 all
i get is signal 11 when trying to start X (i tried both with and without 
BusID in XF86Config). 
 Is PCI for Permedia needed in kernel to use X (and if so which bootstrap
should i use the new one that's required for 2.2.10 kernel or the old one
that was kindly included by Michel Danzer in 2.4.0-test4 tarball) ?

 Other than that all seems fine ;o))))
