Re: 68k Kernel problem....



Michael:
 If you mean applied the kernel-patch-2.2.10-m68k, "FPU emulation in
2.2.10?"
then yes I did.

Where is the FPU emulation information? Is anyone working on the
transcendentals?

The MVME162FX, MVME167FX, MVME172FX, and MVME177FX boards are available
without
floating point. (Why, I don't know!)

BTW: I had a problem that turned out to be a flakky cache, now fixed.
While 
searching for the problem, I built a cross compiler and generated the
kernel on 
my Intel box, with the gcc 2.95.2 compiler. Worked great, compiled much
faster.
