problem compiling linux with ELDK: `bd_t' undeclared

[Peter Asemann]

Hi there!

I'm having a problem compiling Linux 2.4.25 as included in ELDK version 
3.1 / Build 2004-11-10.

When trying to compile ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/drivers/char/flash.c 
it throws an error:

ppc_8xx-gcc -D__KERNEL__ 
-I/opt/asemann/eldk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/include -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common 
-fomit-frame-pointer 
-I/opt/asemann/eldk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/arch/ppc -fsigned-char 
-msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring 
-nostdinc -I /opt/asemann/eldk/usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc-linux/3.3.3/include 
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=flash  -c -o flash.o flash.c
flash.c: In function `flash_init':
flash.c:446: error: `bd_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
flash.c:446: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
flash.c:446: error: for each function it appears in.)
flash.c:446: error: `bd' undeclared (first use in this function)
flash.c:446: error: parse error before ')' token
make[3]: *** [flash.o] Error 1

It looks like it misses ppcboot.h or something. Is there something I 
need to select in the kernel configuration to get rid of that error?

Thanks for reading,

Peter Asemann

You are using an inappropriate configuration of the Linux kernel.

Not to select, but to unselect: don't try enabling  the  CONFIG_FLASH
option  if (1) you don't know exactly what you're doing *and* (2) you
are really using on of the boards supported by this driver (which  is
obsolete und unsupported, btw.).

Best regards,
