The "bseip.h" header file is for a MPC8xx based board - what makes you think that this might work on your 8260 based hardware? > I even tried with linux-2.4.20 and encountered the same problems. > Is there any patch required for compiling the kernel cleanly. No. There is no patch needed. The kernel trees are clean. You just have to select a correct configuration. Ummm... and for your custom board you will probably have to port Linux first. > Please provide pointer to the sutiable kernel along with patch. See for example the linuxppc_2_4_devel module on our CVS server.
