How can I run linux on MOTOROLA MVME5100 ?

How can I run linux on MOTOROLA MVME5100 ?

[Lao Dingxiong]

I have heard that the newly linux kernel(2.4, or above) can support 5100.
So I compiled a 2.4.7 kernel, but it can't work!!!
I want to know should I patch the kernel with a 5100 supported patch?
if yes, where can I get this patch?
Thanks for your help.

Where did you take your kernel sources ?
I'm using a 2.4.11 kernel from http://ppc.bitkeeper.com/

PS: I have developped a driver for the vme part (highly inspired from
Gabriel Paubert one's)
with a rtlinux response for the interrupts. I have put it under GPL, but
for the moment
I don't have a ftp server to put it...
I don't have tested it with others kernels (the rtlinux part can easily be
replaced by a normal irq gestion).

You can ask the penguinppc.org people to host it for you.

Or read:
http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml.

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.
