If you want to ditch 2.4 kernal support someone will need to modify MILO to work with 2.6 series kernals. The only reason that I am not currently using Gentoo on my Alpha is that I cannot get a working MILO for current generation kernals. Unfortunately, I do not have the programming skills to do this myself. If you or anyone else knows where I can get a MILO boot floppy for a 2.6 kernal, as recent a version as possible please, would you please reply to the list if appropriate or directly to me at 'right_maple_nut@××××××××.uk'. |

Hi all. |
16 |
|
17 |
2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases |
18 |
and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. |
19 |
Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for |
20 |
the 2007.0 release and forward. |
21 |
|
22 |
Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can |
23 |
try to work out any problems in time for next release. |
