Hi Jon

I downloaded the kernel 2.4.0-test8 from linux.org and decompressed it. Then I tried to run
make menuconfig after having changed the Makefile for ppc.

After I've saved the config I noticed that CONFIG_8260 was not set. I changed that manually
to correspond to the HHL1.2 kernel config.

Then:

... hmmm?

How do you set the configuration?

Do you mind sending me your .config file?

(I even tried to copy the .config file from HHL1.2 without success!)

The latest on FSMLabs is 2.4.0-test9-pre6.  I would try using
2.4.0-test8 from http://www.kernel.org, and see how it goes.

Hi Mark

Which kind of PowerPC are you using?

I'm going now for the PowerQuicc II 8260.

Because of the processor, I upgraded to HHL1.2.  I currently check the
kernel from HHL1.2 out but there seems to be trouble in the startup sequence.
Someone told me to upgrade to 2.4.0-test8 from kernel.org but configuration is somehow strange.
(I don't know how make menuconfig works. If I select the SBC8260 board
and the 8260 processor, the processor selection alway falls back to 6xx!)

Hi Ruedi
I am just starting on investigating getting Linux for PowerPC up and running
on a proprietary system.  From your postings I noticed that you are in this
process too.  I am a newbie to Linux development but not to embedded (our
systems are currently VxWorks-based).  I am using RedHat 6.2 as a base.

I would appreciate a pointer as to where to start on the project, eg. what
source etc.? .  I have the Hard Hat Linux 1.2 release, but am having
problems installing (it turns out the CD has CRC problems, so I am getting a
new one).


Many thanks
Mark
