Hi, As I just fairly successfully have ported the a Linux kernel (2.2.17) to a PPC board, I would like to make some suggestions:
1. What about putting our "clever" heads together and creating a framework for porting Linux to a PPC board. - Splitting up the code for the Mac:s to make it work wo. Open Firmware, or creating a stub's file for usage in the embedded ports. Now it is fairly difficult to use ie. the PCI-code in 2.4.x wo. the OF stuff, at least it needs some duplicated work. 2. Then documenting this fairly well.... Some kind of PPC porting guide ? 3. Making an effort in commenting the code we have already done. 4. Doing a centralized administration for this and getting it into Linus's main branch. Is this going on already or should we do something about it ?.
