Slackwarearm-14.1 ChangeLog (2013-06-16)
Sun Jun 16 10:06:50 UTC 2013
Finally I've been able to get gcc-4.8.1 to compile a _bootable_ and stable Linux
Kernel version 3.9.6, so we now have gcc-4.8.1 in the D series!
(I've stowed gcc-4.7.2 away in '/pasture' just incase!)
In the kernel packages I have added module “crc32c” into the initrd to support
the “xfs” file system driver. This should have automatically been added to the
initrd but due to a lack of an implicitly stated dependency, it is not. For
more details, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608538
If anybody sees any other modules failing to load due to missing symbols
(everything looks fine in this Kernel version, but some may slip through in
future versions), please let me know.
The mini root filesystem for -current has also been updated:

/INSTALL_RASPBERRYPI.TXT: Updated.
The Raspberry Pi support information has been moved to the ARM section of
the Slackware Documentation Project, so that it can be maintained by the
community:

Packages
Rebuilt
- a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-13.tgz
Fixed detection of the ARM Versatile and Raspberry Pi devices when being
installed from the Slackware Installer. - l/glibc-2.17-arm-9.tgz
Built against Linux 3.9.6 Kernel headers and compiled with gcc-4.8.1. - isolinux/*
When installing on a Raspberry Pi, suggest to the user that they disable fsck
checks; since without an RTC, a time-based fsck will run whenever the OS is
booted. This is the same check you may have seen when installing on the
QEMU/ARM Versatile platform.
Thanks to stanley garvey for the suggestion.
