2.4.18
this line from X might be helpfull
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19-gentoo-r5 i686 [ELF]
Also there is a symbolic link in my /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-r5/ dir the link is linux-2.4.18 -> /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/ I don't know if that's of any importance but none of the other source directorys have such a link |

Is there a location to discover what is broken under certain versions?

linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5
linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r7
etc. | For example, I'm still using 2.4.19-r1. However, I've read of some people having problems with later 'r' versions and the
Promise controller I use. Would kind of like to avoid upgrading to something that is known to break my system. _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

bugs.gentoo.org, these forums and the mailing list archives are going to be your best bet. There is no one source for all problems. (though bugs.gentoo.org is closest)

TX2, I forget if it is ata/100 or 133. This thread suggests that r1-r7 don't work with it. Also in that thread is this:

make mrproper
make menuconfig (select everything again)
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
Works perfectly now, kinda strange but I'm happy =) | make mrproper seems to be the key, though I haven't tried it. Anyone know what it does differently? _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

Awe, c'mon! You've got the whole SEARCH thing in your signature! And you *still* didn't do it. That's the last time I look for an answer before asking a question. I've got to respect what a Guru has to say...

I was just trying to do too many things at once. I had a search page and was wading through results and
reading other threads at the same time. I shouldn't have asked _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |
