Re-run binutils-config manually, as this will fix the ldscripts bug, and then |
| 31 |
source /etc/profile. Binutils-config doesn't do this automatically, so it's |
| 32 |
caught a few people off guard. |

Second, whenever you use an older config on a newer kernel, _always_ check the |
| 35 |
config to make sure it didn't flip something off. Things changed dramatically |
| 36 |
from .17 to .20, and relying on oldconfig alone isn't recommended. I usually |
| 37 |
run through menuconfig and just check the categories myself. |

That all said, nested exceptions sometimes point at ARCS bugs. You may have an |
| 40 |
out-of-date PROM. Unfortunately, we're not sure which PROMs are out-of-date, |
| 41 |
and which ones aren't. |
