Hi All, make oldconfig has asked because of the CPU family. I choosed GENERIC for my P.A. Semi PWRficient PA6T-1682M. Is this correct? Maybe this is the problem. config GENERIC_CPU - bool "Generic (POWER4 and above)" + bool "Generic (POWER5 and PowerPC 970 and above)"

Hi All, I use the Nemo board with a PASemi PA6T CPU and have some issues since the first PowerPC updates for the kernel 6.1. I successfully compiled the git kernel with the first PowerPC updates two days ago. Unfortunately this kernel is really dangerous. Many things for example Network
