Hi PPCpeople; I worked recently on the mpc8xx-2.3.10 sources, and I had less problem for compilation than with the 2.2.5 release, but it stays some 'undefined reference to :kbd_pt_regs, fg_console, no_scroll.....'. I think it is a configuration problem, but I don't find any solution (and I wonder if I will find the good configuration one day). I noticed like Brendan that some parameter are configured even if you didn't want. I edited the autoconf.h but no really changes.
I suggest tracking down the Makefile that is building the unwanted feature and comment out the lines that build it. It's not the cleanest solution, but it has worked for me.
According to Dan, it seems to be tooo difficult to cross compile on a host pentium machine (I begin to be mainly agree with him),so I'm going to obtain a powermac station. However I would like to know before if someone has already succeeded to build a zImage or zImage.initrd configured for a MPC860 MBX board on a host pentium (II 400) station?
I have successfully built both a zImage and zImage.initrd for kernel 2.2.5 for an RPX-Lite (MPC850) board on a PII-350 station running RedHat 5.2. I used binutils-2.9.1.0.19a and egcs-1.1.2 cross-compiler.
Good Day. Sébastien Tadéoni
