Re: [cobalt-developers] Cannot install the MIPS Kernel Update 1.0 on my RaQ2

[Harald Kapper <hk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
well same experience for us - the only way to get this up correctly was
to start from plain Cobalt OS 4.0 (1999-original-version of raq2), then
to patch MIPS-kernel-update, tools and then the rest of available .pkg updates.

Basically cobalt-support told us that the mips-kernel-update is outdated
automatically as it's included in the OS-update, though afaik the kernel-tools
aren't and (bad luck) those tools depend on the mips-kernel-update which
can't be installed otherwise, got no real solution on this one, except to
either make it from scratch or to break warranty (well, who cares? ;-)) and
install manually, but be warned we've never tested the later option, always
do a clean setup for new raq's, make a procedure-handbook for sysops internally
is probably a good option.
