Hello, thanks a lot for the last help and advice to create a new linux kernel, I appreciate it very much.
Now I have downloaded from DENX via anonymous ftp the linux-2.4 kernel sources for PowerPC. I have created a new kernel and tried to bring my PCMCIA interface to up and it seems to work. Now I wanted to patch this kernel to run RTAI on the Board. Testing if the pach works with --dry-run I received the following: patch --dry-run -b -z.PRE_RTAI -p1 < ../patch-denx-linux-2.4-D2002-09-26 patching file arch/ppc/8xx_io/commproc.c patching file arch/ppc/8xx_io/Config.in patching file arch/ppc/8xx_io/enet.c patching file arch/ppc/8xx_io/lwmon_spi.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 79.

I did this one and created a kernel-image without rtai like before, and I copied it to the board and this time the following happened: Serial driver version 5.05a (2001-03-20) with no serial options enabled Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 NIP: C00B91CC XER: 8000007F LR: C00BD810 SP: C0209DC0 REGS: c0209d10 TRAP: 0300 MSR: 00001032 EE: 0 PR: 0 FP: 0 ME: 1 IR/DR: 11 DAR: 000003F9, DSISR: 00018469^[[1;47r^[[47;1H TASK = c0208000[1] 'swapper' Last syscall: 120 last math 00000000 last altivec 00000000 GPR00: 00000000 C0209DC0 C0208000 C0209DC8 00000001 10000000 C020B538 000003F8 GPR08: 00000000 000003F8 00000000 00000000 C01A0000 1004B640 C00BCEB4 C00BC71C GPR16: C00BB2B4 C00BBF5C C00BC830 C00B9368 C00B92DC C00BC3AC C00BB384 C00BB2FC GPR24: C00BBFE4 C00BB234 C00BB21C C016A1CC C016A1CC 00000000 00000000 C0209DC8 Call backtrace: 1004B640 C0179474 C017278C C0172830 C00023CC C0004D28 0000007D Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Rebooting in 1 seconds.. What I would need is a combination of the source trees. The ideal would be if i could patch the kernel linux-2.4 from anonymous ftp on DENX as my PCMCIA card works with it. Does anyone have any suggestions what I could do to be able to patch this kernel? Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions. Andreas ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
