Hi, I successfully applied the patches http://master.debian.org/~bossekr/powerpc/patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx.diff.gz http://master.debian.org/~bossekr/powerpc/patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx-damm.diff.gz to the kernel linux-2.2.13.tgz from www.ch.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/ using the following procedure:
cd linux-2.2.13; patch -p1 [--dry-run] < patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx.diff.gz cd linux-2.2.13; patch -p1 < patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx.diff.gz cd linux-2.2.13; patch -p1 [--dry-run] < patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx-damm.diff cd linux-2.2.13; patch -p1 < patch-2.2.13-mpc8xx-damm.diff -modify the main Makefile: ARCH := ppc, CROSS_COMPILE = powerpc-linux- -make config, make dep, make zImage I could not run it on my FADS board because I have only 4 MBytes memory. I am using this kernel on a custom board with 16 MBytes memory. I had to do a few modifications for that. Is there ? Where is the "low-memory patch" that make the kernel 2.2.13 runable with only 4 Mbytes memory ?
