Hi Mark

Which kind of PowerPC are you using?

I'm going now for the PowerQuicc II 8260.

Because of the processor, I upgraded to HHL1.2.  I currently check the
kernel from HHL1.2 out but there seems to be trouble in the startup sequence.
Someone told me to upgrade to 2.4.0-test8 from kernel.org but configuration is somehow strange.
(I don't know how make menuconfig works. If I select the SBC8260 board
and the 8260 processor, the processor selection alway falls back to 6xx!)

Thema: RE: Kernel 2.4.0 test8

Hi Ruedi
I am just starting on investigating getting Linux for PowerPC up and running
on a proprietary system.  From your postings I noticed that you are in this
process too.  I am a newbie to Linux development but not to embedded (our
systems are currently VxWorks-based).  I am using RedHat 6.2 as a base.

I would appreciate a pointer as to where to start on the project, eg. what
source etc.? .  I have the Hard Hat Linux 1.2 release, but am having
problems installing (it turns out the CD has CRC problems, so I am getting a
new one).


Many thanks
Mark
