2.4 Kernel Upgrade

["Russell Hires" <rhires@earthlink.net>]

Well, I finally got my 2.4 kernel to compile, using BenH's tree, rsync'd 
and all. But then try to boot using it? Didn't work. What sorts of
details do I need to provide? Are there any "gotchas" I should know
about?

I'm using woody, with a modified 2.2.18 kernel that includes a patch for
my Voodoo3 card (that I got from linuxppc.org), and I'm using the new
input layer for my mouse. I know that potato requires a little tweaking
to use the 2.4, but I didn't think woody did. I boot using BootX because
I have a Beige G3/266, running Mac OS 8.6. Currently I've got the extra
arguments set at video=tdfx:1024x768-8@60, and I compiled 3dfx into the
2.4 kernel. When I start up with this setting (using the 2.4), I get the
most interesting color scheme, and I can't read any of the console
messages. If I remove the arguments, I get a completely blank screen
(and therefore I can't read the console, either :-)


Any ideas how to get 2.4 kernel working?

Thanks!

Russell
