Problems building 2.4.10-ac11? Am I missing a ppc specific patches

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

I seem to have trouble building Alan's 2.4.10-ac11.

First pc_keyb.c is missing the follwoing line:

#include <linux/pm.h>


Once that is fixed, vmlinux builds.  But then during make modules we seem
to be missing cache flushing code (according to the error message).

I compared this with Ben's version of agpgart_be.c and the ac version
seems to be missing a lot of ppc specific pieces that are in Ben's tree.

So what is the solution here.  I really want a STABLE 2.4.X kernel so that
I can work on testing radeon drivers.  I don't want VM trouble (been there
done that).  But I do need to get the latest kernel video drivers.

Is there a ppc specific version of the AC tree anyplace, that I should be
grabbing?  Or have the stability issues in the VM in the Linus tree been
fixed?  I noticed that Linus was already at 2.4.12 and even that needed
patches.

Will someone please point me to where I should be grabbing source code
from?  If I don't want to be an experimental kernel guinea pig, should I
grab a 2.4.9 kernel and then backport all of the video drivers?

Thanks!

Kevin
