THe traball is a snapshot from the linuxppc_2_4_devel CVS tree (for ELDK 3.1.1 the date of the snapshot is 2005-03-06 or CVS tag LABEL_2005_03_06_0100). > 2.

Both versions were perfectly capable of booting a working Linux kernel. I don't know the MV toolchain, but I guess it's working fine, too. So my guess is that it's your port of the Linux kernel which is broken. > 1 why I configed the kernel with CONFIG_HD860 in "make menuconfig" but > the code in CONFIG_HD860 > isn't compiled at all ! What's the perhaps reasons? I checked the Your port of the Linux kernel is broken. Probably you made errors when changing the configure scripts and/or Makefiles. > 2 How to get board info "struct bd_info" in init/main.c ?

But how can I use it? This depends on how your hardware and your port of Linux support such a feature. I cannot answer such a question.
