kernal problems

[David J. <jo...@co...>]

Hi,
I have previously had a debian 2.2r3 installation wowrking with a
2.4.4 kernal running XFree 3.
For an unknown reason, (probably my fault) my system stopped working
so I decided to upgrade to woody and install that. I bought an 8 CD
set.
Now unfortunately I can't boot a 2.4.? kernal, but 2.2.10 will boot ok
but seems to have problems with woody?
   Do I need to get a 2.4.? kernal up and running or will 2.2.10 do.
I have included 2 dmesg files for the appropriate kernals, and my
install script.
Due to much tinkering I have become very confused using different
boothacks, kernals and root.bin files. I now need to know from
someone with a similar setup to myself what kernal, boothack and any
other req'd files used etc that gets things up and running.
I have tried a woody installation using 2.2.10 but had loads of
"neighbour table overflow" errors. What are these indicating?
Also my built in clock on the PPC reverts back to 1902 for some
reason, but it works ok on the miggy.
The clock problem caused errors when trying to install packages, the
date contained in the .debs was "3767879etc long number" seconds into
the future. This is obviously not good so I have put my installation
on hold until I understand what's going on.
An annoying part is that 2.4.4 has worked for me before!

Regards,

Dave
