I am running LinuxPPC R4 on a PMac 7600 with a nPower 400 (2 604e 200's). I would like to know where to get a complete kernel source tar-ball that supports SMP on PMac's. So far I have tried the stock 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 sources from kernel.org and the 2.2.10-pmac sources from sunsite.anu.edu.au. I have not been able to build a bootable SMP kernel from any of these source tarballs. The kernels built from these images crashes during boot in "swapper". The process I am using for building the kernel is: # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper ; make pmac_config ; make menuconfig ; # make dep && make clean && make vmlinux If there is something additional that I need to do please let me know. I am curretly using a SMP 2.2.7 kernel from borg.mit.edu, but it appears that borg.mit.edu only has compiled kernel images, not source tar-balls. If anyone has the sources for this kernel, I would appreciate a pointer. The only SMP kernel I have been able to built and boot sucessfully was 2.2.0-pre6. I don't want to go back to this version since the DEC 2x14x ethernet support was flaky. Thanks, ----ranga [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
