Hi,

If I enable SMP then I can get a 4.3.5 compiled kernel to boot. I also
tried 4.2.4 with no success (no SMP). 4.1.2 WILL boot (again no SMP).

Is there anyone here that knows more than I do (which means they know
something - I know nothing) about the intricacies of Linux kernel
building, especially on PowerPC.

Thanks!

kevin
