A trick to compiling the kernel?

[Ben Hall]

Is there a trick to recompiling the kernel on PPC linux?  After many 
attempts, I have been unable to get either the YDL3.0 default or 
experimental kernel to compile cleanly.  Both die in a myriad of places. 
 The experimental kernel died last for me when compiling the radeon 
module, but that was after I went in and removed the SCSI MESH option 
and many others.  The default kernel also failed compiling the i2c 
modules, and didn't like ti when I tried to compile FireWire support 
right in (rather than as a module.)

I'm just doing a standard make menuconfig, make dep && make clean && 
make vmlinux && make modules && make modules_install on my ibook2.  Any 
ideas about what goes on?

Cheers,

Ben
