Thankyou for the patch, just about to apply it, but realised i don't know what to apply it to. I'm not familiar with how you guys name the freebios tree. Ie on the first line it refers to freebios.orig/src/cpu/k7/ then freebios/src/cpu/k7 - do i need two copies of the freebios source tree? (one CVS-downloaded tree left "untouched" and one copy of that tree with the patch applied. Perhaps it would be worth a little documentation on this subject?
just change to your freebios directory and "patch -p1 < /path/to/patch.diff".
Also, i'm planning to compile on the 2.4.7 Kernel (as per the K7SEM howto), Is there now a more preferred kernel version?
There are patches for 2.4.17 and/or 2.4.19. Look in your source tree (see howto)
And finally, what distro of linux do you guys use for your compilation? I tried Suse 8.1, but that failed. Now i'm unsing an aged Redhat 7.2. Can i use the new Suse 8.2 instead. Thought id ask first rather than try it only to fail.....again :-)
SuSE 8.0 works fine for me.
