Alpha port still maintained in 2.5

Hi all!

I just tried compiling the current 2.5.53 kernel on alpha, and it's obviously broken. Before I start tracking down everything, I'd like to know if somebody already started working on the new module code and if patches exist, any pointers etc. greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Markus

Richard Henderson is working with tgafb on alpha.
I'm looking into the architecture specific Makefiles in cooperation with Richard.

I recall alpha patches from others as well, but do not recall anything about module support.

Hi Markus,

The patches at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty work OK for me (I used the "Alpha support for modules" one plus all required dependencies)...
