Could you try my kernel and patches on ftp://vlab1.iram.es/pub/linux-2.4 ?
(they include a VME driver BTW). They work on my MVME2600 but since the
early bootloader reallocates all PCI resources to work-around PPCBUG
stupidity and allow large mappings to the VME (CHRP configuration instead
of PreP), it should help.
