MacLinux Folks -- All of the four diffs have the following property: 1) Only support Macintosh 2) Only support 040 class machines 3) Have great console support 4) Get into the kernel somewhere and take a buss error setting up ttyS0 The diffs here are as follows: linux-cons-040-270897.diff -- diff relative to 270897 linux-cons-040-270897.diff.gz -- diff relative to 270897, gzipped linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff -- diff relative to 270897-1 (Michael's delta) linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff.gz -- diff relative to 270897-1, gzipped After patching, (patch -p0 < linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff), then ... YOU MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGE /usr/src/linux-2.0.29/include/linux/autoconf.h add the line: #define CONFIG_M68040 1 Then do a "make clean ; make dep ; make -j vmlinux" (The -j means to use many "jobs". When one process is busy reading from disk, another compile can be running. Doesn't help all people in all situations!) -- Randy Thelen Sept. 22, 1997
