Hi All, make oldconfig has asked because of the CPU family. I choosed GENERIC for my P.A. Semi PWRficient PA6T-1682M. Is this correct? Maybe this is the problem.
config GENERIC_CPU - bool "Generic (POWER4 and above)" + bool "Generic (POWER5 and PowerPC 970 and above)" depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 && !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU There isn’t a POWER4 anymore and I used it via CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y before. Before the first PowerPC updates: CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU=y # CONFIG_POWER5_CPU is not set Link: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype — Christian > On 13.
