I am doing the patch for this and will be mailing it to various arch lists later today. >* kernel now compiled fine but did not link due to unclear ifdefs > for the kallsyms stuff (this should be propagated back to > whom ever is maintaining the kallsyms stuff) More specific please. kallsyms has no ifdefs. It should only be included if you select kdb but kdb has not been ported to ppc. I maintain modutils, kallsyms and kdb. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
