2.6.15-rc3-mm1

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.15-rc3/2.6.15-rc3-mm1/

- Several ISA sound drivers don't compile. This is due to a collision between the ALSA and PCMCIA trees, and to breakage in the ALSA tree.

- drivers/serial/jsm/* still doesn't compile.

- Various raid and fbdev updates

Maybe it's time to drop the driver again? It's known to be very abusive of tty internals it shouldn't touch and the vendor blocks adding more hardware support to it because it prefers it own (even worse) driver.

This will give IBM who apparently cares about this hardware the chance to reintroduce a proper driver again that supports all hardware and doesn't abuse the tty layer.

I was thinking of marking it BROKEN for now.

Aren't UARTs driven by this driver also compatible with the 8250 one ?

Ben.

I don't think so. It's a pretty complicated "intelligent" serial board.

Hrm... ok, well, we have a board here based on Exar chips that can be driven by the "jsm" driver but it also works fine with 8250...

Ben.

ok, then there's probably a dumb mode aswell :)

Hi,

I get this when I try to compile on a x86_64.

Right, of course, I should have seen that. It's running nicely with an uptime of two and a half hours.
The patch is missing the header, btw.

"¿Cómo voy a decir bobadas si soy mudo?" -- CACHAI

Testing 2.6.15-rc3-mm1 seems to have issues on ppc64 systems using the powerpc architecture. The problems are in the powermac support relating to the BOOTX_TEXT support.

Following this email are a couple of patches to clean up this build:

powerpc-powermac-adb-fix-dependancy-on-btext_drawchar: fix up a
dependancy problem on BOOTX_TEXT

powerpc-powermac-adb-fix-udbg_adb_use_btext-warning: clean up a
warning with unused externals

Comments?

-apw

powerpc: powermac, adb fix dependancy on btext_drawchar

udbg_adb_init() has become dependant on btext_drawchar, even when BOOTX_TEXT support is not selected. This leads to the error below. Make the check dependant on BOOTX_TEXT.
