Problems with kernel 2.5.4[1-4]
Hi,
I recently been trying to get the latest 2.5 kernels to work, so far
I've tried 2.5.4[1-4]. I have been able to get them to boot and run
but not without a few problems:
1) 2.5.4[34] required patching which is attached. Please don't flame
me about this patch it's just a quick and dirty to get me up and
running. If anyone knows how to do it properly... Aside from that
it compiled pretty cleanly.
2) I generally get an increase in unaligned trap but this is much better
with 2.5.44.
3) On boot up most things work (X, ppp, networking etc). The major thing
that doesn't work is evolution mail. evolution itself largely works
but if I compose a message (whether it be a reply or forward, etc)
I get a CIA machine check (attached) and nothing happens. At this
stage evolution will still continue to work but the mail component is
completly broken and I have to kill off all the bonobo components by
hand when I shut it down.
Machine details: Alpha XL300, running unstable (upto date as off about 2
week ago), MGA G200 framebuffer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
