ppc.kernel.org problems

[Steven Hein]

Dan,

Sorry to bother you.  I've scoured the linuxppc-emnbedded mailing list,
and I've tried (unsuccessfully) to access

ftp://ftp.ppc.kernel.org/pub/linuxppc/embedded/

I'm working on a MBX-based 860T board, and I'd like to move from the
2.2.13 kernel in the HardHat package to the latest 2.3.x kernel.
(We need it for the USB drivers).

I have BitKeeper access and I grabbed the latest Linux/PPC kernel tree,
but it doesn't have updated FEC or UART drivers in arch/ppc/8xx_io,
and I'd imagine there are other pieces missing.  Are those pieces
available
to merge w/the Linux PPC (2.3.99-pre3) kernel?  If so, where can I
go besides www.ppc.kernel.org/embedded, which appears to be down.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Steve

I am working on the 2.3.xx kernel right now.  There have been lots of
generic changes that need integration for 8xx.  Keep looking at the
tree over the next few days, it should come together.

That should have all been there last week......

Dan,

(My apologies if I'm not reading this right......)

I just updated from BitKeeper this morning, and I'm still seeing
problems.....

- in arch/ppc/8xx_io/uart.c the version says 0.02, where the version
  in the HardHat tree is 0.03

- the arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c still won't compile for me; it is trying to
  reference the field 'tbusy' in struct net_device, and there is no
  'tbusy' field in net_device (looks like this still coresponds to the
  older 'struct device', which did have a 'tbusy' field.....)

Thanks,
Steve

That is because I am not done updating everything yet.  The basic
BitKeeper kernel won't even boot on the 8xx, and until I get things
that used to work back into shape I don't intend to make more bugs.
