The usb keyboard code crashes on ia64 for me, set CONFIG_KDB_USB=n unless you feel like fixing the problem.

Sebastien Lelarge. v2.3/README Starting with kdb v2.0 there is a common patch against each kernel which contains all the architecture independent code plus separate architecture dependent patches. Apply the common patch for your kernel plus at least one architecture dependent patch, the architecture patches activate kdb. The naming convention for kdb patches is :- vx.y The version of kdb. x.y is updated as new features are added to kdb. - -v.p.s The kernel version that the patch applies to. 's' may include -pre, -rc or whatever numbering system the kernel keepers have thought up this week. - -common The common kdb code. Everybody needs this. - -i386 Architecture dependent code for i386. - -ia64 Architecture dependent code for ia64, etc. - -n If there are multiple kdb patches against the same kernel version then the last number is incremented. To build kdb for your kernel, apply the common kdb patch which is less than or equal to the kernel v.p.s, taking the highest value of '-n' if there is more than one. Apply the relevant arch dependent patch with the same value of 'vx.y-v.p.s-', taking the highest value of '-n' if there is more than one. For example, to use kdb for i386 on kernel 2.4.19, apply kdb-v2.3-2.4.19-common- (use highest value of ) kdb-v2.3-2.4.19-i386- (use highest value of ) in that order. To use kdb for ia64-020722 on kernel 2.4.18, apply kdb-v2.3-2.4.18-common- (use highest value of ) kdb-v2.3-2.4.18-ia64-020722- (use highest value of ) in that order. Use patch -p1 for all patches. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 iD8DBQE9UQnEi4UHNye0ZOoRAr1zAKCxRN+04JUs6rBB17ypNzqCZrs1sgCfewoD O/7sQN6M3O+jusxWDM1e+Mg= =AkCQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
