Description of problem: linux-2.6-net-tg3-update-to-driver-version-3-76.patch adds a piece of code that calls pci_device_to_OF_node, however that is NOT available in the sparc or sparc64 code in the 2.6.16.53.el5 kernel. It looks like pci_device_to_OF_node is available in sparc on newer kernel kernel versions.
Inclusion of this patch is the problem. commit 49b6e95ff6d05722bcf7a52b00454566ce0c44eb Author: David S. Miller <davem.net> Date: Thu Mar 29 01:38:42 2007 -0700 [TG3]: Use pci_device_to_OF_node() on sparc. And use CONFIG_SPARC instead of CONFIG_SPARC64 as the test. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem>
Created attachment 304775 [details] rhel5-test2.patch Johnny, please test this patch and let me know if you can now compile and use tg3 on sparc. Thanks!
My test kernels have been updated to include a patch for this bugzilla. http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/#rhel5 Please test them and report back your results.
Johnny, Did you ever test compilation on SPARC with my test kernels? You can grab them here: http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/#rhel5 Thanks!
Johnny, I could still use some feedback on my test kenels and how they are working (compiling) for you. Thanks!
