Hmm...downloaded 2.6.9, patched to 2.6.10-rc2, patched to 2.6.10-rc2-mm4. Tried building and got the following error:
[cfriesen@hsdbsk204-83-218-112 linux-2.6.10-rc2-mm4]$ make CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. CHK include/linux/compile.h CHK usr/initramfs_list GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x5f4): In function `paging_init': : undefined reference to `pgd_offset_is_obsolete' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
Any ideas?
