NEVER use make pmac-config it will IGNORE your config options and just use the generic version. maybe its a bug, i don't care. make config works fine, you just have to answer no to some more cruft. the kernel i am running on my G3 is made from `make config' without make pmac-config and it works very well. the correct solution is for the config script to filter out the x86 options as soon as you answer `PowerMac' for CPU type. no need for this lame make pmac_config kludge. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
