Christian handled the etch kernels. They are probably in 2-extra of <http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/kernel/dists/etch/linux-2.6/debian/patches/series/> > The di kernels appear to have both SCSI and a warning-free IDE driver, so what > am I doing wrong here? We have been in essense using the lenny installer to install etch-m68k for quite some time. The di kernels are 2.6.26 and I've been patching them per Geert's queue and your requests. > > That's once of the reasons I want some form of lenny: etch, how old is that? ;) > > > > Maybe next week. > > Should we focus on testing the sid installer then? Anything you would like me > to help with lenny? I'd like to focus on testing the sid/lenny installer, but perl is currently busted so we can't actually bootstrap sid or lenny. Any ideas there would be greatly appreciated. It sounds like vivaldi came back up successfully, so I'm going to update it and try to re-build perl when I get time. Other than that, I've no idea what I'm doing. ;) If you're game, feel free to point hobbes and perl and see if you can get it working. (It built fine, but perl-base dies horribly on installation.)
