Hello!

Here is a little update:

openpic_init() is called by mpc85xx_ads_init_IRQ in ppc/platforms/85xx

ppc_md.init_IRQ=mpc85xx_ads_init_IRQ in ppc/platforms/85xx

ppc_md.init_IRQ() is called from powerpc/kernel/irq.c

init_IRQ() is  called from init/main.c:start_kernel()

and that seems to work fine. So, it crashes silently somewhere
after that point. I try to build 2.6.15-rc6-latest with kgbd support,
not knowing if it's supposed to work on this platform.

Are there some open issues from the ppc->powerpc migration?

Thanks,
