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.
