[U-Boot-Users] ELDK and newer kernels
Hi all, sorry if this question is inappropriate for this list.
I'm developing for the MPC8548E and in 2.6.20 there was drivers/ata/pata_marvell.c merged, which I need for a Marvell 88SE6121. I noticed eldk comes with a kernel, kernel-source-2.6.19.2-1.noarch.rpm . I'd like to use the ELDK kernel with the MPC8548E for my custom board , using the CDS board for my reference.
Is there any feel for a new 2.6.20 or later ELDK kernel that'll run the MPC8548CDS within the next month or two?

Why not use mainline? What's in the ELDK packaged kernel that's missing from mainline?

Indeed, try the linuxppc-embedded mailing list, please.

I recommend using one of the latest git kernel trees. As you are looking for non-platform specific drivers, I would first try the latest stable versions from kernel.org (2.6.22.1 as of today) and then the linus git tree.
The guys at LKML don't want to talk about outdated kernel versions and already fixed bugs.
