Well, I created a chrootable rc6 build image for the system team, and the rest |
| 16 |
is up to you guys. Right now, Pete and Chad are working on whipping the rest |
| 17 |
of sys-* into shape. Chad is handling sys-libs/pam and I'm guessing that |
| 18 |
alkaline is going to start by ripping out multilog and replacing it with a |
| 19 |
non-DJB product. Currently, we are using kernel 2.4.6 and the most recent |
| 20 |
ebuild we have is the 2.4.7-vanilla kernel. I was planning to upgrade to the |
| 21 |
most recent kernel a bit later on once our sys image is finished. |

Note: cvs.gentoo.org has a VIA KT133 (686b) chipset and doesn't have any |
| 24 |
ReiserFS corruption problems. So does my development box. cvs.gentoo.org |
| 25 |
is using kernel 2.4.4-ac9 and my dev box is using 2.4.6 currently. You may |
| 26 |
try turning off DMA to see if that helps. |
