Kernels For Cassiopeia BE300

For the latest (unstable !) 2.6.x kernels

Get a 'clean' sourcetree from linux-mips.org :
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs login
(Only needed the first time you use anonymous CVS, the password is "cvs") 
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs co linux
Next get our patched files from CVS and copy them over the above: 
# Login into CVS tree:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linux4.be:/cvsroot login
# Press "Return" when prompted for password. You only need to do this once on any machine.
# Check out a copy of the tree:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linux4.be:/cvsroot co linux/kernel-unstable-2.6.x

Now your ready to compile the kernel: 
  cp config_be300d .config
  make

WARNING: all information below this line is old, probably still ok for the 2.4.x kernels but no longer updated !
Kernel 2.4.18 with serial debug and framebuffer support: vmlinux Use the bootloader to get it started.

You can get the latest specific BE300 files from the Linux4BE CVS server:
Login into CVS tree.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linux4.be:/cvsroot login

Press "Return" when prompted for password. You only need to do this once on any machine.
Check out a copy of the tree.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linux4.be:/cvsroot co linux/kernel

Now copy those files over your existing sourcetree, and you're ready to build:
make mrproper ; cp config_be300 .config ; make oldconfig dep clean ; make
