<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a CVS snapshot that I've decompressed. It
has the latest changes from Andrew Ip but I don't see any changes in it from
Kevin Hester who, on 10/29, said he had some patches.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been lurking in the email list for some time
and see that Andrew Ip and Kevin Hester have made progress with the VIA
EPIA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This would be my first build with what they have;
so, I'm a newbie to CVS and LinuxBIOS. I'm fairly knowledgable about Linux and
some revision control systems that run on other operating systems (PVCS, RCS).
Although CVS is recommended for getting the files, I would hope that the
snapshot can be workable but I don't know how. Currently, I don't have a
CVS client running so, if possible, I'd like to have a way to use the
snapshot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to get this built but there are no
instructions for the VIA EPIA board. So, I decided to look at the HOWTO for
K7SEM. It says that the kernel is supposed to be patched. I don't see a VIA EPIA
patch for the kernel, is there supposed to be one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking to use either kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.19
but to match other progress with VIA EPIA I'll use what ever kernel I'm supposed
to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to just get caught up to Andrew Ip's last
issue - IRQ table..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there some LinuxBIOS file I need to read that I
haven't yet?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The CVS snapshot decompressed has resulted
files with ",v" and suspect there's some other step that I may have missed to
get these files with the correct filenames for make?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
