kernel-image-2.2.1-netwinder -- notes



I uploaded kernel-image and kernel-patch packages for 2.2.1.
A couple of notes:

  - 'kernel-image' will install /Image, not /vmlinux.  Because
    of some (temporary?) offset issues (0x8000 vs 0xC000), `vmlinux'
    will not boot.  Thus, when booting after installing this image:
    > setenv kernfile /Image

    and to keep this setting:
    > save-all


  - These are built with a different egcs than the current Debian one.
    Basically egcs-1.1.1 with Phil Blundell's 990113 patch.  To build
    local sources, either build binutils and egcs first (preferably
    with --target=arm-linux to avoid namespace conflicts with Jim's
    stuff), or obtain pre-built ones from:
	
	ftp://ftp.slett.net/pub/linux/netwinder/cross/

    Also, with 'make-kpkg', make sure to get 6.06.1 or later, as it
    will build and use `Image' rather than `vmlinux'.


Good luck!
