Re: Compiling 2.4.18 for Motorola MBX board

In message [ref] you wrote:

The default PPC .config appears to be something that's
appropriate to, say, running Linux on a Macintosh.

Well, the MBX is an embedded system, so you cannot really expect  the
DEFAULT configuration to work on it, right?

You should go into make menuconfig, & de-select PMAC
and other Mac-type ethernet devices.

In fact, I made sure to go through every (!) menu,
sub-menu, sub-sub-menu, etc. in make menuconfig to
de-select everything that wasn't appropriate for my
system.

Why not just chosing a working default configuration?

	$ make mbx_config
	$ make oldconfig
	$ make dep
	$ make zImage

will do the Right Thing (TM) in a blink or two...
