We downloaded kernel version 2.4.0 from kernel.org.
That site is not properly updated with PowerPC patches. We are
actively working on that problem. For now, please visit
http://www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html
to get access to the latest 2.4 PowerPC Linux sources.
Also, if you are building this on a pentium, don't forget to do something
like make ARCH=ppc menuconfig. The 8xx targets are known to build, and
should be working. If you have to fix any problems, please send patches.

For about the last week, make xconfig has stopped working for the
EST8260 board in the 2.5 bk tree. It dies with:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ford/linux/src/linuxppc_2_5/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/ppc/config.in >> kconfig.tk
statement not in menu
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
This happens whether or not I use my .config or I remove it. With my
.config, I can still successfully build a kernel. I haven't taken the
time to track it down as I assumed it was transient.

Aside from this, I don't think anything but the manual 'make config' has
ever worked for the 8260. The problem is I set two processor type
configuration variables, CONFIG_6xx and CONFIG_8260. Most of the
scripts try to be "smart" and only allow one to be set. I know
'make menuconfig' doesn't work properly, I suspect 'make xconfig'
does the same (unless Tom has fixed this recently :-).
