where do I find 2.5 series kernel for ppc64

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi,

> Where from I get latest 2.5 series linux kernel patch for ppc64?

You can get the latest 2.5 tree via bitkeeper from
bk://ppc.bkbits.net/for-linus-ppc64

I regularly get Linus to update from there, so his tree sometimes
builds. However in the last few days a number of big changes (eg Rusty's
in kernel module linker) went into Linus' tree so its unlikely to compile.
I should have fixes for that in the next day or so.

There are a significant number of bugs in older toolchains. You will
need a recent toolchain, best bet is to grab cvs version of binutils and
the cvs 3.1 branch of gcc. Apply Alan Modra's latest gcc patch available
on ftp://ftp.linuxppc64.org/pub/people/amodra/gcc-3.2/

Apply the patch below to the kernel source tree. I still havent got
these bits merged into Linus' tree.
