How would I go about compiling my own kernel on a PPC?
If you have an existing install that works on your ppc, check if your toolchain supports 64bit: $ vi test.c int main() { return 0; } $ gcc -m64 -o test test.c If it compiles w/o complaining you should be able to build a kernel for powerpc64. Your .config has to include: CONFIG_PPC64=y CONFIG_PPC=y With this kernel built, install image and modules onto a usb stick, boot up and install arch and configure this kernel & modules for your preferred bootloader. Indepth knowledge about this procedure can be found all over the place I'm sure. ^^ Cheers, -G
