ELDK Linux Compile problem

Sorry if this is the wrong list for this. I hunted around for an ELDK specific list, but came up empty.

I got u-boot to compile with ELDK for the Lite5200 board, and I'm moving on to getting Linux to work. When I was using version2 of the ELDK and u-boot 1.0.1, I got it up and running and reading the hard disk, so I'd like to get up at least to where I was before (I moved to the newer version because of the USB and RTC support).

I'm trying to compile a kernel for the Lite5200 board. I can successfully compile it with an incomplete IDE configuration, like this:

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLOCK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y

But when I add the hardware driver:

CONFIG_BLOCK_DEV_IDE_MPC5xxx=y

the compile crashes. I'm using ELDK 3.0 (not the CVS), which has the modified 2.4.24 kernel.

Here's the error message, which appears to be happening in the linker:

-------------------------------------

My apologies if this has already been fixed in CVS. If it has, I'll get current and try again.

Maybe we should really start an ELDK list one day...

This just means that your kernel configuration is broken.

I recommend to use the CVS version anyway since it has a couple of fixes. But the real fix is just chosing a correct configuration; try our default configuration for the Coral-P setup (feel free to disable the Coral-P related stuff later, but try the configuration first as is): ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/fujitsu/Coral-P/LITE5200_CoralP_defconfig
