Hi all, I'm trying to build a bootable kernel for my new mono-processor G5. I need the latest version because of the new hardware used in the G5.
Has anybody already done this? So far I've tried to compile a plain ppc32 kernel on a G4 I have (running sarge). But I get the following errors (with 'make-kpkg kernel-image'): <snip> drivers/macintosh/smu.c:45:21: asm/smu.h: No such file or directory drivers/macintosh/smu.c:47:26: asm/abs_addr.h: No such file or directory <more of the same/> </snip> The problem is that some of the new code I need (written by Ben Herrenschmidt if I'm not mistaken) lives in include/asm-ppc64 whereas the make process picks asm-ppc: <snip> $ ls -ld asm lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7 2005-04-05 11:56 asm -> asm-ppc </snip> I've tried cross compiling with 'make-kpkg --arch powerpc64 --cross-compile kernel-image', but make-kpkg (and I guess behind it dpkg-architecture) don't know (yet) about powerpc64 (nor of ppc64): <snip> unknown Debian architecture ppc64, you must specify GNU system type, too at /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 198. </snip> So I'm not sure of what to do now: 1 - drop make-kpkg, and try to compile the kernel directly with make (and find out the correct global variable for cross-compilation) or 2 - try to solve the compilation errors by moving files around (?) 3 - compile the kernel under MacOS X on my G5? Any advice welcome! Thanks for your help. Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
