Scott,
Unfortunately I can't sup, and I haven't downloaded the kernel sources
recently, but I would like to test a kernel built with these MMU mods
on my IIsi with my DayStar 040. I have a working 1.2ish system without
the DayStar, and I was going to spend a bit of time on doing what you've
done in my next holidays - but if this it works - it means an end to
switching cards! If you ever come for a holiday in Australia...
I'll start downloading the kernel sources now anyway - but if you could
put
up a binary for FTP someplace I'll test it ASAP.
PS:
Dinsdale, the DayStar 040 PowerCache definitely does not work in a IIsi,
but these very recent changes may enable it to work. Stay tuned...
