Stable BK for 405GP Walnut?

Stable BK for 405GP Walnut?

[Allen Curtis]

I retrieved the latest linuxppc_2_4 source code with the intentions of
building a Walnut kernel. We are looking to build the next shippable kernel
ASAP so we thought it would be best to use the "stable" version.
Unfortunately when I tried to configure and compile we encountered several
surprises:

1. All the 405GP stuff is missing from the non-development tree. (PCI, DMA,
all the OCP support such as Ethernet)
2. Compile errors in ppc4xx_pic.c, invalid relocation type messages. (This
is something that I can solve with a little time.)

What should I use to build a Walnut kernel?

Allen,

Are you saying that the code will not make it into stable? Are you saying
that stable does not compile for the Walnut? What is your recommendation?
Take the stable or kernel.org 2.4.18 w/PPC patch and then all the "devel"
pieces that are missing?

TIA
