The kernel from kernel.org is not bugfree,especially the ppc section
;-)

Please try the patches from Benjamin Herrenschmidt. This will solve the
problem.

But I have another problem: We want (basic) support for APUS in the
upcoming release and the current kernel 2.2.15pre4 can not be compiled.

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/abuild/apus/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__powe
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/abuild/apus/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__powe
ppc_ksyms.c:72: `isa_io_base' undeclared here (not in a function)

ppc_ksyms.c:73: `isa_mem_base' undeclared here (not in a function)
ppc_ksyms.c:73: initializer element for `__ksymtab_isa_mem_base.value'

ppc_ksyms.c:74: `pci_dram_offset' undeclared here (not in a function)
ppc_ksyms.c:74: initializer element for
`__ksymtab_pci_dram_offset.value' is not constant
make[1]: *** [ppc_ksyms.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/abuild/apus/linux/arch/ppc/kernel'

Is there a fix for this problem? 
We don't have any APUS hardware here.
