Mailing List Archive: 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 kernel on Alpha issues?

I'm currently running 2.6.8-gentoo-r10 on my alpha. Anyone had success with
a 2.6.9 kernel on Alpha?

I've tried building a 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 kernel and am getting compile time
errors.

Found via a google search that the kernel folks removed a reference
to the internal __ioremap function in the asm-alpha/io.h header.

I forgot the compile log ...

adding following line to include/asm-alpha/io.h fixed compile:

#define __ioremap(a,s) alpha_mv.mv_ioremap((unsigned long)(a),(s))
