You know of patches? The only guy we know of whose remotely written any Extreme |
| 14 |
(XZ) patches is one 'onion' over in the linux-mips IRC channel. Of course, I |
| 15 |
don't believe he's ever released screen shots or source code, thus we've always |
| 16 |
regarded his claims as vapourware. Did someone else create patches, or did he |
| 17 |
finally put them out and not tell anyone? |

If you have a location of the patches, I'd be interested in knowing where |
| 20 |
they're at so I can see if they'll fit into mips-sources when I get around to |
| 21 |
putting out 2.6.19 (yeah, It's wayyyyy behind). 2.6.20 still has problems on |
| 22 |
Octane last I checked (-rc6), so I dunno when that'll be out. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But yeah, I've got an Extreme board set in an IP26 (R8000, w00t!) that I can |
| 25 |
yank out and stuff in my IP28 to see if it boots the kernel and prints messages |
| 26 |
(IP28's userland is all whacked up, so I doubt it'll ever boot again). |
