I have a CVS snapshot that I've decompressed. It
has the latest changes from Andrew Ip but I don't see any changes in it from
Kevin Hester who, on 10/29, said he had some patches.
I've been lurking in the email list for some time
and see that Andrew Ip and Kevin Hester have made progress with the VIA
EPIA.
This would be my first build with what they have;
so, I'm a newbie to CVS and LinuxBIOS. I'm fairly knowledgable about Linux and
some revision control systems that run on other operating systems (PVCS, RCS).
Although CVS is recommended for getting the files, I would hope that the
snapshot can be workable but I don't know how. Currently, I don't have a
CVS client running so, if possible, I'd like to have a way to use the
snapshot.
I'm trying to get this built but there are no
instructions for the VIA EPIA board. So, I decided to look at the HOWTO for
K7SEM. It says that the kernel is supposed to be patched. I don't see a VIA EPIA
patch for the kernel, is there supposed to be one?
I'm looking to use either kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.19
but to match other progress with VIA EPIA I'll use what ever kernel I'm supposed
to.
I want to just get caught up to Andrew Ip's last
issue - IRQ table..
Is there some LinuxBIOS file I need to read that I
haven't yet?
The CVS snapshot decompressed has resulted
files with ",v" and suspect there's some other step that I may have missed to
get these files with the correct filenames for make?
Thanks in advance.
Andy
