Unable to compile cvs kernel on Sparc

Unable to compile cvs kernel on Sparc

[Oystein Viggen]

Hi

I have a SparcStation 10 with dual SuperSparc processors (_not_
sparc64), and I am unable to compile the latest kernel from
vger.samba.org CVS.  Standard Linus kernels neither work, but I figure
they aren't supposed to...

The reason seems to be that the functions pmd_alloc_one_fast,
pmd_alloc_one, and pgd_populate needed for memory.c are not declared in
include/asm-sparc/

System information:
Distribution:   Debian testing/woody
GCC:            2.95.4 (standard debian package)
Running kernel: 2.2.19
Trying to compile: 2.4.5-pre1 from cvs

I would be most happy to provide other specific info on request.

Oystein

That's right, sparc32 currently has no active maintainer and the
tree will continue to be broken until we have one.

Stick with 2.2.x if you want a working sparc32 kernel.

Thanks.

ppc64 has me occupied at the moment, I'll get around to fixing
sun4m when I find the time.

sun4c however is horribly out of date. Will someone step forward
to fix it?
