I found that when trying to build kernel 2.6.19.2 with the ELDK 4.1, and run it on an MPC8349EMDS with u-boot 1.1.3, I had to use ARCH=ppc. ARCH=powerpc would immediately hang. The different architectures use different default kernel configuration files for the same board.
But now I am unable to get USB and MTD to work on the board, and am wondering if ARC=ppc is still a viable choice on kernels newer than about 2.6.15, or whether it lacks the best driver support. Could someone please offer a recommendation on this issue? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Kumar Gala > Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 1:18 PM > To: Clint Thomas > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Linux 2.6 and uboot > > > On Apr 13, 2007, at 2:55 PM, Clint Thomas wrote: > > > Is there any correlation between the version of U-boot to use on a > > board > > and the version of the Linux kernel you plan to use?
