Not a good idea. There have been many changes lately that I haven't yet updated in the 8xx tree. I am also learning to use the new bitkeeper tools, so I am a little cautious about checking in changes at the moment. > There is no inline find_pte() in include/asm-ppc/pgtable.h as there was > before, yet arch/ppc/8xx_io/commproc.c (and enet.c and fec.c) still try > to use this function. Where has it gone? Probably moved to something new and better :-). It looks like we need to go back to va_to_pte() like was done in the 2.2.xx kernels. > What is the currently recommended kernel for 860-based development and > where can I get it? The 2.2.xx kernels are certainly the most stable and recommended if you are building products. There is a 2.2.13 tar image on ppc.kernel.org/embedded for 8xx processors. I don't know when some of the recent changes happened, but the generic 2.3.18 kernel has all of the 8xx changes. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
