[caixupeng]

Dear all,

I config the kernel as ppc4xx-->walnut ,a 405 based board. and make zImage,then
I got the following error messages:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:44: Error: unsupported relocation against DCRN_EXISR
{standard input}:45: Error: unsupported relocation against DCRN_EXIER
{standard input}:72: Error: unsupported relocation against DCRN_EXIER

make[1]: *** [ppc4xx_pic.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/src-linuxppc_2_4/arch/ppc/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc/kernel] Error 2


another question:

Hi Edmoon,

the problem is most likely a wrong kernel source or a wrong .config.
There is a nice little howto on the web, actualy posted here a long time
ago. Try a google search with
   howto kernel compile walnut
and you'll find that posting.

Kind regards,
Georg Klug

Wonderful!
I  download the newest develeping version of linux kernel from bitkeeper.
And compiled without any errors.

I don't have any Montvista or others. I only have binutils-2.13 and gcc-core-2.95.3.

thank you very much!
