Actually I sent that note JUST to soon.  I #ifdef'd around the line where that ID was being used in irq.c
At least that let it continue.  We'll see if it works.

Hello,

I'm interested in talking to anyone who has been able to get the 2.6 kernel to compile for the 7800.  Two issues of which the second problem is getting a version of tssdcard.ko to compile due to proprietary stuff, but first things first.

What is happening is I continue to run up against the following error with the preload instruction (pld):
CC      arch/arm/kernel/traps.o
/tmp/ccsViSXa.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccsViSXa.s:807: Error: selected processor does not support `pld [r3,#0]'
/tmp/ccsViSXa.s:842: Error: selected processor does not support `pld [r3,#0]'
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/traps.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

After googling and looking here I have tried changing the -march=armv5t option, trying armv5te, both v4 and v5t, or v4 and v5te, etc, etc.  BTW all using the 4.0.1 compiler.  After this I tried the other compilers provided on the TS ftp site, namely 3.3 and 3.3.4.  So I went back to the 4.0.1 compiler and changed the optimizations yet the problem persists.

If I turn on CONFIG_DSP it will change/add -march=armv* parameters/value from "-march=armv5t" to "-march=armv5te,-march=armv4t".  This solves the pld problem but then chokes in a different spot.

The new error starts in arch/arm/mach-mv88fxx81/mv88f5181/../LSP/irq.c with a undeclared identifier which is ts7800_fpga_msi_mask.  Hmmm.....I had to turn OFF CONFIG_TS7800 in the config file to get around the "can't compile tssdcard.ko due to its proprietary" issue.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or ideas.
