PowerTower Pro 225
Hi all,
I hope some one can help me. I have a powertower pro 225. I know the
system has broken OpenFirmware 1.0.5. I installed Woddy and all is well
with the standard 2.2.19-powerpc deb, but I wanted to try the new kernel.
I downloaded the sources for 2.4.17, configured and compiled. No joy. The
machine would not boot the new kernel. I use quik and manually edit the
quik.conf file to point to the proper kernel.
When I 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.16-powerpc' from Debian, I can get
the system to boot, but I have no console video, no X etc.. I have to ssh
to the box. When I look at dmesg, I don't see anything strange.
My question is where can I get the .config that the kernel maintainer
uses? I would think that would give me a good baseline to start from.
I download my kernel sources from ftp.kernel.org, are Debian's sources any
different if I apt-get the kernel source?
Thanks,
Ed
