I just downloaded the 2.1.95 source and have run into a few snags:
1) When compiling the kernel, I get an error and the kernel stops
compiling when it hits the aic7xxx part of the compilation. The error
that is causing this is in:
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/sequencer.h
The lines that are causing the problem are:
#if defined(__KERNEL__)
typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;
#endif
I believe someone mentioned that u_int8_t is defined elsewhere, and to
simply comment these lines out. Might be nice if we can fix this once and
for all, so we don't have to keep commenting these lines out everytime a
new release comes out.
2) I have a cable modem through MediaOne in Massachusetts, and a DaynaPORT
10baseT ethernet card. The card has the DEC Tulip 21041 chipset. I have
a dual boot with 2.0.33 on my system, and when I boot under 2.0.33, it
boots just fine, and connects. No problems. I set up my kernel config to
be identical to the 2.0.33 setup, and as plain jane as possible, none of
the new features.
Here is what I'm getting in /var/log/messages:

When I boot up under 2.1.95, everything in the bootup sequence appears to
run just fine except the ethernet card getting initialized. I believe
the card is being loaded correctly, but it is not getting an IP Address
from the DHCP server. I configured my card to initialize at boot via DHCP,
and under 2.0.33, it works beautifully.
Is this a known problem, or does anyone have a suggestion on where to look
to resolve this?
- Thanks
