I am trying to get LinuxBIOS and AMD SimNOW working.
I tried to follow the how-to and have run into a brick wall.
It gets to the point of compiling linuxbios. Originally it could not find the file linuxbios-svn-2950.tar.gz file under sources and was failing. I then got this revision via svn and created this file. I put it in the sources directory, now the patch file for linuxbios is failing.
Here's my guess: When you got the revision and made the tarball, your directory structure ended up wrong so the patch won't apply. When you check it out from svn you get a LinuxBIOSv2/* and you need a svn/*
Thats probably right - it would be interesting to figure out why SVN isn't working for you - this is the first time we've had a general SVN failure like this.
Maybe we need to start using qa.linuxbios.org to as a backup for SVN failures.
