problem compiling linux with ELDK: `bd_t' undeclared

Hi there!

I'm having a problem compiling Linux 2.4.25 as included in ELDK version 3.1 / Build 2004-11-10.

When trying to compile ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/drivers/char/flash.c it throws an error:

ppc_8xx-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/opt/asemann/eldk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -I/opt/asemann/eldk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.25/arch/ppc -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -nostdinc -I /opt/asemann/eldk/usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc-linux/3.3.3/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=flash -c -o flash.o flash.c flash.c: In function `flash_init':
flash.c:446: error: `bd_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
flash.c:446: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
flash.c:446: error: for each function it appears in.)
flash.c:446: error: `bd' undeclared (first use in this function)
flash.c:446: error: parse error before ')' token
make[3]: *** [flash.o] Error 1

It looks like it misses ppcboot.h or something. Is there something I need to select in the kernel configuration to get rid of that error?

Thanks for reading,

You are using an inappropriate configuration of the Linux kernel.

Not to select, but to unselect: don't try enabling the CONFIG_FLASH option if (1) you don't know exactly what you're doing *and* (2) you are really using on of the boards supported by this driver (which is obsolete und unsupported, btw.).
