how to Compile linuxppc 2.5

how to Compile linuxppc 2.5

[sun-zj]

Hi:
I am using linuxppc-2.4.pre2, it works fine. But now I have some questions.
My board is FADS and CPU is PPC860T(FEC ethernet). I test its' network
performance. When I send to much data to PPC+linux,the linux OS can't repond
any my input through serial. after some time, the login process is killed,
and I can't login anymore but I can ping it from other computer. what happen
to that??
second, I want to see whether the linuxppc_2.5 has some improvement for
that. so I download the linuxppc_2.5 from denx by BK Clone. But how can
extract the source files from BK's file?? Under the
linuxppc_2.5 how Can compile the kernel?? I compile the official kernel
2.6.2. It dones't know what I make(I use "make FADS_config" command and denx
cross toolchains)??

Thanks a lots for your instructions.

Best Regards.

This is impossible.

You will not find a 2.5 source tree on our servers, and  we  also  do
NOT use Bitkeeper.

Hi,Denk:

Sorry for wrong information, I get the linuxppc_2.5 from
bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5 not from Denx.:(  But I want to know
whether I can make  kernel from the source even if it is not from your
sites. When I make the FADS_config, It complains the no FADS_config rules
exist, but the directory arch/ppc/configs has FADS_config.
another question how can I get linuxppc_2_5 from your sites?

Thanks very much for your great works on PPC!!!
Best Regards.

Of course you can use the ELDK to compile _any_ kernel source tree.

Many things have changed in 2.5/2.6. Please try:

	-> make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- FADS_defconfig
	-> make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- uImage

But don't expect that this will actually work.

Even with the latest version (2.6.2) will end  up  with  errors  like
this:

arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:351: `request_8xxirq' undeclared here (not in a function)
arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:351: initializer element is not constant
arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c:351: (near initialization for `__ksymtab_request_8xxirq.value')


> another question how can I get linuxppc_2_5 from your sites?

At the moment you cannot. We don't support this  yet.  IMHO  the  2.6
kernel is not ripe yet for real-life use.

You are welcome.
