[Bryan Althouse]

Hello,

I would like to use a 2.6.x kernel with my Yosemite/HalfDome board.
Somehow, I am unable to compile the kernel.  I have tried the 2.6.10 kernel
trees from ftp.pmc-sierra.com and also the latest 2.6.12 snapshot from
linux-mips.  I am using the 3.3.x cross compile tools from
ftp.pmc-sierra.com .  The 2.4.x kernels from PMC compile fine.

In the case of 2.6.10 from ftp.pmc-sierra.com, my error looks like:
       Make[3]: *** [drivers/char/agp/backend.o] Error 1

	
In the case of 2.6.12 from linux-mips, my error looks like:
	drivers/net/titan_ge.c1950: error: 'titan_device_remove"  undeclared
here (not in a function)

My compile process is like so:
make mrproper
make xconfig
make oldconfig
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=/<tool_path>/mips64-linux-gnu-    vmlinux

Could someone share their .config with me, or make some suggestions?

Thank you,
Bryan

Configuring AGP support for a MIPS kernel is obviously nonsense.  Disable
CONFIG_AGP.

Whoops, a bug.  The function indeed doesn't exist even though it should,
will fix that.  You will hit this bug only if compiling the titan driver
as a module, so workaround set CONFIG_TITAN_GE=y.  Which for the typical
titan-based device seems to be the preferable choice anyway.

RE: your mail (yosemite + 2.6.x issues)

[Bryan Althouse]

Thanks Ralf, now I can compile the kernel.  But, I don't get any serial
console output when I try to boot it.  Actually, I get a single line that
looks like this:

Loading file: tftp://192.168.2.39/vmlinux (elf)
0x80100000/2288188 + 0x8032ea3c/111372(z) + 4125 syms|

I have found PMC's "yosemite_defconfig" file and I am using it as the
".config". I have tried using CONFIG_PMC_INTERNAL_UART=y and I have also
tried commenting it out.  Either way, I get no console output.

Thanks for the help!

Do you load the kernel first and then do a "go"? If you load the kernel 
first using the "load" command, then you should come back to the PMON 
prompt where you can type a "go". I was not clear about it from your 
email below.

Re: your mail (yosemite + 2.6.x issues)

I remember having some problem with the serial driver for the rm9000.
pmc-sierra had to supply a fix. 

Their 2.6.10-rc3-20041208 kernel had the fix applied. Sorry not to
remember more details.

RE:

Thanks for your help.  Yes I do need SMP.  Jason Liu of PMC did a check on
my serial number, and found that I have rev 1.1 silicon.  He says I need rev
1.2 in order to use a 2.6.x kernel.  I have shipped my hardware back to them
for an upgrade.  Hopefully, I'll be back in business in a week or two.

That is correct.  Earlier revisions didn't implement some functionality
that is crucial to SMP.  Since only PMC and a small number outside parties
have pre-1.2 silicon I agreed with PMC to not try to support earlier
revisions.

RE:

Ralf,

Right, there is no AGP.  At first, I was unable to locate the
yosemite_defconfig, so I was running xconfig without a properly defaulted
.config.  I inadvertently left the AGP support enabled.  Now that I am
starting with yosemite_defcofig as a base-line, I have no problems compiling
the kernel.

Oh, I was pretty sure you'd not have AGP.  However there are a few systems
which need high graphics performance and that's where AGP would make sense,
so while it's not very likely I could see some need for AGP for such
systems and did my posting in the hope somebody would raise his hand in
case there's AGP for MIPS after all ...

The SGI Onyx 4 and Tezro systems have AGP slots, but they a really
running as PCI-X with an odd form factor and there's no AGP GART
(which isn't needed as the systems have a real iommu)
