LITE5200 2.6.x kernel support

LITE5200 2.6.x kernel support

[Olivier Singla]

Hi,

I am currently using 2.4.25 on the Lite5200 board, but I'd really like to
switch to 2.6.x. The only 5200 specific support I need are the integrated
uart and the PCI. I tried both 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 without luck: the kernel
start, but then is stuck (seems into the init sequence). I use the
configuration
file from arch/ppc/configs/lite5200_defconfig. I cross-compiled the
kernel with gcc-3.4.1.

I was wondering if somebody could give me some help, maybe by telling
be what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Olivier

BTW, I tried also 2.6.13-rc3, but I can't even compile for the Lite5200,
there are some syntax error when compile the pci module...

Oliver,

Could you send boot log?
And, at this time, vanilla 2.6.xx kernel couldn't boot from nfs (and use
eth too), since fec (ethernet) driver still not ready.

I believe that Sylvain's tree has FEC support in it, but that it
hasn't been pushed into mainline because the DMA engine hasn't been
ported to the platform bus yet.

I think I've address the build issue and posted a patch to lkml for  
it.  Look for

Kumar, thank you.

I would assume he does now.  I only sent it out yesterday upon  
finding out that the boards did not boot.
