Hello, I've been given the task of evaulating various operating
systems for some new hardware, and the company has obtained
an MPC823FADS evaluation board. Looking at the list archive, I
sort of wish they had asked first!.. But it seems as though other
people have managed to get the ppc kernel running on FADs.
What I'd really like, is to ask a big favour of someone and get a
snapshot of their /arch/ files or whole working kernel, as reference
and to prove that it can be done!
So far, we've managed to get version 2.2.5 set up, compiled and
downloaded, but I think it's missing a serial driver, (crashes trying
to print to the terminal), and we don't really know where to go from
here - hence the plea for help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Regards,
Evan.

Hello Sorin and Evan,
I have the 2.2.5 kernel running on an 823FADS. I will send you a snapshot of
the arch directory.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your help.
Anyone else here has any experience with FADS boards and 860?
Any sugestions are _strongly_ appreciated...
Best regards
Sorin

Hello,
We have almost the same situation here too and we have been fighting
FADS 823 and
FADS 860 boards with 2.2.p7 and 2.2.13 and a small ramdisk (no NFS boot
to begin with).
But so far the board won :-(
We would greatly appreciate a copy of your (2.2.5) arch directory, along
with your
.config file. Did anybody manage to run linux on a FADS with a RamDisk ?
And any other info you believe appropriate. We will keep you posted.
Thank you very much
Best regards,
Christian
