Hi Grant,
i need your help again :)
my 2.6. kernel is running. now i want to add the system ace driver to
mount a rootfs on the systemace-flash.
but i don't know how to import the EKD driver to the linux kernel, or is
there a ready to go driver in the kernel tree ?
i didn't find anything...
You've got 2 choices:
1. use the new sysace driver; it's already in mainline. The new
driver is faster, but it doesn't handle hotswap of the CF card (yet)
2. use the EDK driver; easiest way is to use my tree which already has
it merged: http://git.secretlab.ca
Cheers,

But where in menuconfig could i find the sysace driver ? i'm blind, i
think :)
2. use the EDK driver; easiest way is to use my tree which already has
it merged: http://git.secretlab.ca
i made an EDK update and now i have the linux_2_2 os in the software
options. the bsp with all drivers is generated.
and now ?
- copy to kernel tree
- use the xmake to build the kernel, or make ?
and why is there no dokumentation :)
Thanks a lot

Don't use EDK to build you're kernel. It's too fragile and you need
to use the *exact* version of kernel that EDK expects. You're better
off to manually copy the xparams file from the generated BSP. (ie.
Don't let EDK know where your real kernel source tree is)
and why is there no dokumentation :)
Care to write some?

wuh ? i dont need all the driver from the generatet bsp files ? what
about the gpios and leds ?
i compile the kernel with a self made cross toolchain, not with the edk.
until now i copied the bsp files into the kernel tree (modfied some
defines) und compile with "make zImage". But know with the linux_2_6

Okay, im really blind i think, so i started again :
- 2.6.22 kernel from kernel.org
- cp /arch/ppc/configs/ml300_defconfig .config
- edit Makefile to use ARCH=ppc and CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-405-linux-gnu-
- copy xparams
- make menuconfig -> no SYSACE blockdevice :((( *aaaaargh*
i will try the grant kernel now :)

Yeah, you don't want a symlink, you want a console device node instead:

mknod /dev/console 5 1

see bootmessages

I would say you need to add a /dev/null device node, or fix it's
permissions. :-)
mknod /dev/null 1 3
