kernel 2.4.9 thoughts etc

[Alan B. <al...@ms...>]

hi,

I'm releasing a 2.4.9 kernel to the linux-apus site in a few moments.

there were some issues when compiling so i'll raise them here..


firstly a problem with gfxcard. for some reason, 'make dep'
insisted on looking for the 'aty' (i recall) directory 
in drivers/video. i commented out the field for that directory
in the makefile (represents the ati128 card) and things were okay

secondly, SCSI drive 53x770.c is broken nastily...calling 
older zorro routines that no longer work. therefore I've had to
not enable this in the kernel. BUT this is a SCSI controller
for the CyberStorm MkIII. heres where I have a question:

What SCSI drivers do we NEED under LinuxAPUS? I see no
point in enabling SCSI controllers that attach onto a
CPU-slot card - as under APUS the only CPU card available
to the host is the CyberstormPPC/BlizzardPPC which have their own
(well, you know what i mean) SCSI drivers.
