Re: SMP for 2.4.18 on duel G4 Mac
Hey Ben,
I got it working. Thanks for your input. It's really helpful knowing
that your on the right track even if your not quite there yet.

Here's the kernel I am using (the latest from rsync).
andrew.dixon@dev1:~$ uname -a
Linux dev1 2.4.19-pre8-ben0 #1 SMP Mon May 6 16:40:29 EDT 2002 ppc
unknown
andrew.dixon@dev1:~$
As it turns out there was a problem with CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION and
CONFIG_SMP. Linux would compile with CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION defined
without CONFIG_SMP but when I added CONFIG_SMP I got a link error.
I also found that the following modules would not compile with
CONFIG_SMP defined:
-CONFIG_UFS_FS
-CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV
-CONFIG_NET_SCHED
later,
Andy
