[U-Boot-Users] ELDK and newer kernels

[robert lazarski]

Hi all, sorry if this question is inappropriate for this list.

I'm developing for the MPC8548E and in 2.6.20 there was
drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c merged, which I need for a Marvell
88SE6121. I noticed eldk comes with a kernel,
kernel-source-2.6.19.2-1.noarch.rpm . I'd like to use the ELDK kernel
with the MPC8548E for my custom board , using the CDS board for my
reference.

Is there any feel for a new 2.6.20 or later ELDK kernel that'll run
the MPC8548CDS within the next month or two?

Robert

Why not use mainline?  What's in the ELDK packaged kernel that's
missing from mainline?

Indeed, try the linuxppc-embedded mailing list, please.

I recommend using one of the latest git kernel trees. As you are looking
for non-platform specific drivers, I would first try the latest stable
versions from kernel.org (2.6.22.1 as of today) and then the linus git tree.

The guys at LKML don't want to talk about outdated kernel versions and
already fixed bugs.
