Re: [PATCH] nearly successful powerpc build
I assume you're talking woody here? I've been working on potato boot
floppies for the past week steadily and not had time to look at the
woody set.

Why on earth would you do that??? It should have been
2.2.18presomething in the archive; the 2.2.18pre was there for a
reason.
It should also just be changed to 2.2.19 now. They're in incoming.

Deleting lines of code is usually a bad idea.
In this case, a very bad idea. This comes from
kernel-patch-<ver>-powerpc; I assume it was part of your attempt to go
to 2.2.17?

Like I said. Why on earth do you want to do a downgrade?

Careful of including this with submitted patches! If you feel like
adding a config.local, more power to you... please...
