Hi all,

Again , I have some questions:

I downloaded the linux kernel from both of source.mvista.com ( 2.6.19 I think ) 
and kernel.org ( 2.6.20 ) , and I did the following tests on both of them:

1- Using EDK 8.2.02 , generated my base system for ml403. EDK generated BSP 
files. 
2- I copied the linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2 into proper location in eldk directory and 
extracted there, Then I copied all of the BSP files into the root folder of my 
kernel source.
3- Editted the Makefile and set the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables , also I 
set all of the env variables needed by edk. 

4- ( First Question ) looking the BSP files generated by EDK I see that 
/arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xparameters contains two files: xparameteres.h and 
xparameters_ml40x.h 
However when I look at the same folder in kernel source tree I see that the 
file name is different, it is xparameters_ml403.h 
Is this OK? I think that I should rename the file?

5- ( Second Question ) Although I have copied the BSP files into the my kernel 
source tree completely, nothing changes in the menuconfig. I mean the 
menuconfig ( menus and configs ) is the same as before, for example  , no 
special option is added for gigabit ethernet support ( hard temac )
Is this ok? I expected to see some changes in menuconfig when I copied the 
files into kernel source. 

6- ( Third Question ) Now, I do the needed primary configurations and then I 
type : make, to begin the build process. Obviously, It generates some error 
messages, Is this  kind of behaviour natural? I was not expecting to see syntax 
errors in kernel source tree ? ( Of course, when I build the kernel without 
Xilinx BSP every thing is OK )

( The above descriptions are true for both of mvista and kernel.org, )

thanks
