If you want to compile a ppc kernel on x86, you need a cross compile environment (compiler,linker,as,..). I try to compile a kernel on my ibook for the Motorola, but it doesn't boot. I don't know if it's possible to build it natively without cross compilation. Doesn't boot, means I get a stack exception ... Kernelversion: 2.4.20-rc4-ben0 ... # # Platform support # CONFIG_PPC=y CONFIG_PPC32=y CONFIG_6xx=y # CONFIG_4xx is not set # CONFIG_POWER3 is not set # CONFIG_POWER4 is not set # CONFIG_8xx is not set # CONFIG_8260 is not set CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not set CONFIG_ALL_PPC=y # CONFIG_APUS is not set # CONFIG_SPRUCE is not set # CONFIG_PAL4 is not set # CONFIG_GEMINI is not set # CONFIG_SMP is not set # CONFIG_ALTIVEC is not set # CONFIG_TAU is not set CONFIG_PPC_ISATIMER=y ... Anyone an idea or a working .config I can use to build a new kernel for the 604e ppc machine? bye Waldemar -- 8485 D0CE 2743 656E 867C 5C93 0317 AFD8 BE21 BD90
