I have some issues with our linux-2.6.25:

Plain 2.6.25 or current mainline?

Note that linux-m68k-patches-2.6.25 doesn't contain the new mac_esp driver yet.

- the series file (serieshtml.html) lists one patch that does not exist:
  proc-convert-proc-bus-nubus-to-seq_file-interface.patch arch=m68k
  this patch is not listed in index.html, is it obsolete?

Fixed (renamed to *.diff, my scripts didn't handle *.patch).

- two patches do not apply (to the debian kernel, so they might be included
  by debian already or are irrelvant for m68k (the second patch)?)
  m68k-remove-traditional.diff

Possibly included.

  HTC_PASIC3-depends-on-ARCH_PXA.diff

Integrated in current mainline, as it broke all platforms.

- ext4 does not seem to compile:
[...]
m68k-linux-gnu-strip vmlinux.tmp
gzip -9c vmlinux.tmp >vmlinux.gz
rm vmlinux.tmp
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 468 modules
ERROR: "generic_find_next_le_bit" [fs/ext4/ext4dev.ko] undefined!

Known issue.

ERROR: "m68k_mmutype" [drivers/uio/uio.ko] undefined!

Just disable CONFIG_UIO. Do we need it?

Hmm, why didn't I see it? Ah, because my `max-all' kernel has it
built-in, not modular.

I added m68k-export-m68k_mmutype.diff to linux-m68k-patches-2.6, does it
help?

Is ext4 supposed to work on m68k? Would anybody mind if I disable it for
debian-m68k? I would not want to use ext4 on my other machines yet, so thats
what I am going to try next.

Probably nobody really cares yet ;-)

There's a patch available at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/5944, but I
haven't found time to look into it yet.
