Right, but you need a recent kernel (from our CVS). The kernel specific parts (stuff like drivers/pcmcia/m8xx_pcmcia.c) were added after the release of ELDK 2.0.2 [and some more extensions like simultaneous support for both PCMCIA slots on MPC860 systems was added even later]. Don't forget to run bash$ make modules bash$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx when building your kernel.
