Would that advice be specific to the MPC8541E?
Encountering a kernel build error with ARCH=ppc, after configuring as much as
possible for MPC8248, I've just tried ARCH=powerpc on linux-2.6.21.5, with this
slightly scary result:
>>>
There is no help available for this kernel option.
Symbol: EMBEDDED6xx [=n]
Prompt: Embedded 6xx/7xx/7xxx-based board
Defined at arch/powerpc/Kconfig:384
Depends on: <choice> && PPC32 && (BROKEN || BROKEN_ON_SMP)
Location:
-> Platform support
-> Machine type (<choice> [=y])
<<<
(Note: MPC8248 fits in the 6xx group, architecturally, AFAICT.)
At least I can apply a patch (missing from current kernels), to
fix the immediate MPC8248 problem in ARCH=ppc.
For my case then, ARCH=ppc seems to offer more promise.
