The 2.3.xx tree for the 8xx is pretty bad. There are some updates I want to incorporate, but I have been tracking down all of the changes that cause 8xx not to build or boot properly. For the MBX in particular, the support of the PC-style I/O has finally been broken. The support of the IDE was always a problem because of the desire to use PCMCIA flash, the QSpan never seemed to pass interrupt correctly, and now generic kernel changes finally broke the indirect access to the 8259 (and I am still puzzled how it is supported on other PMacs.....). Anyway, those are some of the things I am working on. There are many other little things, like building without PCI configured doesn't work either. The last working 2.3.xx kernel I used and updated was 2.3.18. I am actively working on all of these because I want to make sure we have a solid 8xx configuration when 2.4.x hits. I will make an announcement when I get something stable again. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
