Re: Kernel 2.6 on alpha

[Alan Young <ayoung@teleport.com>]

I have 2.6-test11 running on a LX164.
2.6 seems a tad bit sensitive to compiler versions.
I could compile and boot it with RedHat's 2.96-112 gcc, but
firewire would oops.  Compiling with 3.2.3 seemed
to fix that.

USB seems to oops not matter which compiler I use...

Which buslogic card do you have?  I have a Bt-956C I that I can try in the LX.
