13 FWIW, 2.6.27-rc7 is out now tho I've not tried it yet. ... And my
14 compiling problem turned out to be due to usage of the KBUILD_OUTPUT var
15 to set the output-dir, as detailed in the makefile. That's certainly a
16 bug since it /is/ documented in the makefile, but at least there's a way
17 around it now.
18
19 (That said, now that I can compile, there's another bug in actually
20 getting -rc6 to run (again I've not yet tried -rc7), grub loads the
21 kernel or I'd have a grub error (I tried it by pointing grub at a non-
22 existent file), but there's no early console output at all from it and it
23 self-reboots pretty quickly, so the init must be failing pretty early.
24 I'm running radeonfb tho, without vgacon even compiled in. I should try
25 it with the standard vgacon and see if that works.)
26
27 So anyway, as long as you are compiling into the kernel sources tree
28 itself (or, reports are, setting the output dir from the command line
29 instead of by var), you should avoid the compile problem I had, and
30 hopefully you don't hit whatever other bug it is I'm hitting with -rc6,
31 and hopefully it's fixed for me in -rc7. =:^S
