nubus powerpc 2.4.27-10 source build



Hi,
    I am running your kernel  on two machines that are very much alike.
processor       : 0
cpu             : 601
revision        : 0.2 (pvr 0001 0002)
bogomips        : 59.80
machine         : PowerMac,NuBus
motherboard     : PDM MacRISC
detected as     : 0 (<NULL>)
pmac flags      : 00000000
memory          : 40MB
pmac-generation : NuBus

Linux version 2.4.27-nubus (horms@aya.lab.ultramonkey.org) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)) #1 Mon May 16 18:48:55 JST 2005

Above is a 6115CD powermac, I also have a 6116CD running your kernel.

I am trying to replicate your build. For some reason I am unable. Using standard debs. I did:

#apt-get source kernel-source-2.4.27
# apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
# apt-get build-dep kernel-source-2.4.27
#cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/
$fakeroot debian/rules binary
( I got these steps from: http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html)

These above steps produced the following debs below:

kernel-doc-2.4.27_2.4.27-10_all.deb
kernel-patch-debian-2.4.27_2.4.27-10_all.deb
kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27-10_all.deb
kernel-tree-2.4.27_2.4.27-10_all.deb

As you can see there is no kernel-image binary file produced from "$fakeroot debian/rules binary" process.

I think I understand my error is that I didn't include nubus headers, but am unsure how to do this ( help implied). I am familiar with building kernel-images and normally build kernel-images for a 7400 powerpc on a 7400 with process below.

#make-kpkg --revision 1 --added-patches foo kernel-image

but the above does not work for nubus as I have no patches for nubus in the /usr/src/kernel-patches* directory though I do have "kernel-patch-2 2.4.27-10-nubus" installed. How do I make a proper vmlinuz-2.4.27-nubus the debian way ? What are the steps ?

Any help on what I am doing wrong ?

Cheers,
Rod Ross
