Moin Hinnerk, |
| 48 |
(hopefully have guessed this greet correctly...I am from that |
| 49 |
part of Germany ;) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I have the source of the driver exclusivly compiled for 3.8.13 |
| 52 |
as for 3.14.something (cant remember). |
| 53 |
3.14.x has some other problems (on that embedded platform) like |
| 54 |
not powering off when shutdown, random reboots and such. |
| 55 |
So decided to go back to 3.8.13. |
| 56 |
Yesterday I started updateing (eix-sync and emerge) that Gentoo |
| 57 |
and it ends up in an endless loop (bash update) of configureing |
| 58 |
(damn slow on that mini iron) and compiling - as it looks - |
| 59 |
of a single file. |
| 60 |
After more than 10 hours I CTRL-C that, reupated and now I am |
| 61 |
...updateing the bash again. |
| 62 |
Sigh. |
| 63 |
Currently "fun" is something else... |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Is the 3.15.10++ branch free of things like random reboot and |
| 66 |
not powering off? |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Best regards, |
| 69 |
