BTW, the easiest way to compare is to look at http://linux-m68k-cvs.ubb.ca/~geert/linux-m68k-2.6.x-merging/. While I really don't have much time these days to work on Linux/m68k, I do my best to merge with new releases, fix simple issues, and keep the patch queue up-to-date (and try to flush it to Linus/Andrew from time to time ;-) > Does any body know the history behind these changes? > > Is there any documents that explain these change? 3 sources of information: - The comments in the patches in my queue (cfr. above). However, for very old stuff they are quite terse - CVS commit logs (unless the change predates the existence of our CVS server) - Linux/m68k mailing list archives > Is it possible to run m68k kernel without these changes? Probably, some people tried in the past. But in that case you have to make some other changes first.
