MacLinux Folks --
All of the four diffs have the following property:
1) Only support Macintosh
2) Only support 040 class machines
3) Have great console support
4) Get into the kernel somewhere and take a buss error setting up ttyS0
The diffs here are as follows:
linux-cons-040-270897.diff -- diff relative to 270897
linux-cons-040-270897.diff.gz -- diff relative to 270897, gzipped
linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff -- diff relative to 270897-1 (Michael's delta)
linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff.gz -- diff relative to 270897-1, gzipped
After patching, (patch -p0 < linux-cons-040-270897-1.diff), then ...
YOU MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGE
/usr/src/linux-2.0.29/include/linux/autoconf.h
add the line:
#define CONFIG_M68040 1
Then do a "make clean ; make dep ; make -j vmlinux"
(The -j means to use many "jobs". When one process is busy reading from disk, another
compile can be running. Doesn't help all people in all situations!)
