Hi Chris,
I've been trying to find out what in the generic
kernel image is not working on my box and have been
unsuccessful as of yet. I tried about 8 times last
night. It seems to always panic right after it sees
the IDE cdrom drive. I'm going to try building the
kernel tonight without any ide support to see if that
is the problem or not.
As for gcc.. I've been having all sorts of issues.. so
I think that for now egcs is the best choice. I looked
at what the NetBSD folks are doing and it basicly
looks like they are trying to merge gcc and egcs. They
are spending a lot of time picking and choosing what
goes in the compiler. Hopefully at some point.. gcc
will work out. But for now.. egcs I think will do.
