Hi all,

I've got two questions in regard to building linux-2.6.9-rc2 for a mvme5100

Target info:
build platform: mvme5100, gcc-3.3.4, debian-testing, linuxppc_2_4_devel, 
default mvme5100 config
target platform: mvme5100

Questions 1:

I was getting this error when I tried to build the kernel:

  CC      arch/ppc/boot/common/bootinfo.o
  CC      arch/ppc/boot/common/misc-common.o
  CC      arch/ppc/boot/common/ns16550.o
arch/ppc/boot/common/ns16550.c:14: error: conflicting types for `outb'
include/asm/io.h:142: error: previous declaration of `outb'
arch/ppc/boot/common/ns16550.c:15: error: conflicting types for `inb'

make[2]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/common/ns16550.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/common] Error 2
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

I changed arch/ppc/boot/common/ns16550.c so that it managed to compile 
based on what was in io.h, the patch for which is attatched, are these 
changes okay?

Thanks that compiles, but it doesn't boot, I got:

Did you disable CONFIG_VT, if it was enabled?  Otherwise you need to
pass console=ttyS0
