Hi,

I am currently using 2.4.25 on the Lite5200 board, but I'd really like to switch to 2.6.x. The only 5200 specific support I need are the integrated uart and the PCI. I tried both 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 without luck: the kernel start, but then is stuck (seems into the init sequence). I use the configuration
file from arch/ppc/configs/lite5200_defconfig. I cross-compiled the kernel with gcc-3.4.1.

I was wondering if somebody could give me some help, maybe by telling be what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Olivier

BTW, I tried also 2.6.13-rc3, but I can't even compile for the Lite5200, there are some syntax error when compile the pci module...

Oliver,

Could you send boot log?
And, at this time, vanilla 2.6.xx kernel couldn't boot from nfs (and use eth too), since fec (ethernet) driver still not ready.

I believe that Sylvain's tree has FEC support in it, but that it hasn't been pushed into mainline because the DMA engine hasn't been ported to the platform bus yet.

I think I've address the build issue and posted a patch to lkml for it. Look for

#5 lore raw

I would assume he does now. I only sent it out yesterday upon finding out that the boards did not boot.
