Okay I took a different way, looking at the code and having lots of 
problems trying to get it to compile and the similarity between the 
PowerPlus series I compiled a pplus kernel with the default config and 
the patch above and it booted, yeah, and dumped bits to the console, on 
an mvme2604.

So I made some changes Kconfig so that MVME5100 and PPLUS were basically 
the same ( The architecture for the 5100 and pplus are similar, so why 
was the code separated? arrgh I'm about to be burnt to a crisp, but if 
we don't get our fingers burnt we never learn) which the patch for is 
attached. This patch also allows the selection of nvram which I want 
also and it seems to compile no matter what you select, which it didn't 
before. And so selecting MVME5100 it booted and dumped bits to the 
console, yeah.

I'm still playing with the config, so please excuse the "weird" 
selections in the config which is also attached, but the notable 
differences between it and the arch/ppc/configs/mvme5100_defconfig are 
that it has selections for a default console, and input devices ( which 
isn't needed, I know)  and .....

Ta,
dlg
