I will be happy whoever gets it in.

Any idea on how to solve this nicely? m68k doesn't source drivers/chars/Config.in so just don't do anything about it? > diff -Nru a/drivers/char/Config.help b/drivers/char/Config.help > --- a/drivers/char/Config.help Thu Jun 13 12:03:49 2002 > +++ b/drivers/char/Config.help Thu Jun 13 12:03:49 2002 > @@ -1058,6 +1058,34 @@ > The module is called rtc.o.

If you want to compile it as a module, ^^^^^^^ genrtc.o ... I could swear I fixed it in m68k CVS ;) Richard ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
