Gentoo, 2.6.x, RaQ 3i (updated 2005/07/28)

[markcstephens]

I feel rather silly now..

I discovered RAQ XTR support wasn't compiled into the kernel.

In my defence it was after midnight here

Thanks Jeff and Co, I finally have an up to date Raq XTR I will be able to put in between the internet and my intranet.

Many thanks Guys.

Jeff,


Great work on the Cobalt stuff, I started Gentoo'n my Qube3 a few months back and got busy with work and put the project on hold.. came back to it and pulled the drive, started building thing system, did the patch and when I go to compile the kernel I get an error about Native Machine shutdown, reboot.c? Waiting for flush? and it errors out and fails to compile. I apologize I don't have the exact error message, have you ran into this or heard of this issue?


Thanks again for your work.

It this still being worked on? I am trying with the lasted kernel but with little success.

I patched the kernel and will not compile. This is the errors that is shows.

arch/i386/kernel/bult-in.o: In function 'dump_thread':
: undefined reference to 'wait_for_flush'
arch/i386/kernel/bult-in.o: In function 'native_machine_shutdown:'
reboot.c:(.text+0xb1e1): undefined reference to 'wait_for_flush'
make: *** [vmliniux] Error 1

I disabled all the cobalt stuff in .config and it will build but when it boots it Kernel panic

This is what is shows when it boots:

So how do I fix this?

[alterself.com]

works great! however, i do not know how to modify the patch, so my lcd has always said "Sun Cobalt" w/ a clock by it...how plain.
anyone have directions on how to make the kernel patch for later kernels that 2.6.23-r3?

I believe it still works fine for me.
You did use the LCD utils, right?
They are mentioned on Jeff's site, and are in Portage.

Which kernel sources are you using?
This week I compiled a vanilla-sources from portage to wich the patched applied fine too.
Iirc his patch is made against the vanilla-sources, a outlined in the FAQ on his site.
