RE: Please help: kernel won't compile

["Bill Royal" <bill@spicetech.com>]

Currently broken.

Go to ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded/, read embedded_notes
and mbxnotes, and then pull down embedded-2.2.5.tgz and one of the mbxroot
filesystem images.  This is the standard 2.2.5 kernel with a few hardcoded
fixes.  You may run into some minor compile-time errors, but you should be
able to get this up and running on the MBX board without too much hassle.


have fun

Bill

Hi

I have tried a couple of kernel versions but cannot seem to get any of
them to compile. I seem to always land up with similar errors namely
those below from my 2.2.10 kernel attempt:

make[1]: Entering directory

Any suggestions??? I am trying to compile this for a Motorola MBX board.

Thanks in advance
Grant
