Hi there, I just noticed that the vanilla 2.4.22 does not compile with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MPC8xx_IDE: drivers/ide/idedriver.o: In function `ide_timer_expiry': drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text+0xaa30): undefined reference to `ide_ack_intr' drivers/ide/idedriver.o(.text+0xaa30): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 It's the same for the BK trees. The attached patch fixes that. Please apply and forward it. Thanks a million, Steven
