Hi. I downloaded the vanilla source for kernels 2.6.16.18 and 2.16.17-rc5 from kernels.org. I am trying to build the 2.6.17-rc5 kernel because it includes support for the broadcom airport extreme card. I tried compiling 2.6.16.18 and got the following error:
ld: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_32.o: No such file: No such file or directory
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
I get a similar error when I try to compile 2.6.17-rc5. Do I need to do anything special to compile these kernels on a powerpc processor? Is there a trick to building a kernel on yellow dog that I am missing, or do I need to use different sources?
Thanks,
Michael
