Re: Modern Kernels that can boot from IDE drive LC 630

[Jesse Osiecki <jesse.osiecki@gmail.com>]

Just wanted to let you guys know that thanks to your help, I compiled a 3.15 kernel with the necessary drivers, and finally booted this thing to the hdd. I forgot to sed strip the root password, so I have to do that before I can log in, but it mounted everything correctly.

Best,

Indeed.

Quick start:

Download cross-compiler from https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
Unpack it, point $PATH to it
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git
cd linux-m68k
git checkout m68k-v3.15 (if you don't want to run the latest rc)
make ARCH=m68k mac_defconfig  (replace "mac" if not building for Mac)
make ARCH=m68k -j 4

All of the m68k *_defconfig files should give you a vmlinux with all critical
drivers built-in.
