Re: Test 2.2.10 kernel images/modules/etc. for Atari and Mac
Thanks Michael; this is not in any FAQ that I havee ever seen, so perhaps the
www.mac.linux-m68k.org web site maintainer should list problematic drives; it
would save a lot of time for both users and developers. In the meantime -- I am
quite happy to substitute a new drive in, but now I feel I should ask list
members which drive make will best avoid these types of problems (and
particularly under 2.2.10)? I can always put the Quantums in a Mac that won't
boot Linux. Thanks for any guidance.
