I haven't tried putting the XFS patch against the stock Mandrake 8.0
kernel, but I have built the xfs-development kernel with framebuffer
support successfully. You mention that framebuffer support in the SGI
cvs tree doesn't work for you - Are you trying a particular framebuffer
directly, or the VESA generic framebuffer? I've tried both the generic
one as well as the one built specifically for Nvidia chipsets (i have a
TNT) and both work as expected. In other words, the Nvidia one boots
graphically, but doesn't allow for Aurora to continue the graphical boot
process, and the generic one works just like the stock Mandrake kernel.
If you want to build a framebuffer kernel, my recommendation would be to
build the SGI cvs tree kernel with generic VESA framebuffer support
compiled in. Good luck,

I'm back!
The box has Mandrake on it again (I hate giving up!).
What I'd like to try this time, is to put the XFS patch against the
Mandrake kernel. Rhe frame buffer on the mandarke kernel works (on this
box), but the one in the cvs tree from SGI doesn't, and I'd like to keep
using it.
So. Has anyone had any experience applying the XFS patch to the stock
Mandrake 2.4.3 Tree?
Thanks!
