You'll want to get the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree, and the MVME5100 support quite probably needs to be updated to use 'openpic_set_sources' and have it's OpenPIC_InitSenses table-redone. arch/ppc/platforms/lopec_setup.c should hopefully have enough comments to explain what needs to be done to the MVME5100 files. Tested patches would be greatly appreciated. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
