Hi!

Redwood-6 support in 2.6 is broken.  I subscribed to this
list just to know if somebody is working on it?  2.4.30
works ok.

I went ahead and fixed this compile issue in the following patch:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2005-August/019782.html

Excellent!, it compiles now.

Now, when 'make znetboot' in 2.4 there was a zImage.embedded, is the
same thing as zImage.treebot that appears now in 2.6?

Yes, this is the image that boots on the stock OpenBIOS firmware.
It has the standard "tree" header on it.

Thank you, just one more thing, do you know if the smc91x driver
works for PPC?  In 2.4 I had to set:

CONFIG_SMC91111=y
CONFIG_SMC91111_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_SMC91111_BYTE_SWAP=y

Looking in the driver itself I think it was developed for ARM.

I am unable to netboot, I don't have serial console so my only access
to this little box (MediaMVP) is the net.  Thank you.

I added smc91111 support for redwood5 and redwood6 many months
ago.  See the reference to CONFIG_REDWOOD_5 in smc91x.h.  I haven't
tested it recently though.  I'll give it a try tomorrow.

If your machine is not a redwood5 or redwood6, you'll also have to
add platform device initialization in your platform code.  See
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/redwood6.c.

Just following up.  I verified that current linux-2.6.git netboots
fine on redwood5 using the SMC91111.

Excellent for your code! the box I'm talking about is redwood6
based, just a question, the supplied smc91xxx.c for 2.4 needs
byte swapping, that works ok with your code and this unified
smc91x driver?

Thank you.
