i have no generic_nvram.o so the module doesnt build i guess

wolverine:/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/kernel# grep nvram setup.c 
#include <asm/nvram.h>
        nvram_sync();
        nvram_sync();
        nvram_sync();
/* Generic nvram hooks used by drivers/char/gen_nvram.c */
unsigned char nvram_read_byte(int addr)
        if (ppc_md.nvram_read_val)
                return ppc_md.nvram_read_val(addr);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_read_byte);
void nvram_write_byte(unsigned char val, int addr)
        if (ppc_md.nvram_write_val)
                ppc_md.nvram_write_val(addr, val);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_write_byte);
void nvram_sync(void)
        if (ppc_md.nvram_sync)
                ppc_md.nvram_sync();
EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_sync);

so it looks fine to me.

Any ideas ?
