    Hi, there,

    I know this may sound stupid. I am trying to compile a linux kernel for my
    IBM RS6000 44P-170 machine. I downloaded the 2.6.9 kernel from kernel.org
    but couldn't figure out where to start. When I do make xconfig or make
    menuconfig, I cannot find the PowerPC or CHRP in the processor family, all I
    have are something like pentium, Atholon, etc. I wonder where can I set my
    CPU type?
    By the way, is this kernel the right one to download? I can see the arch/ppc
    and arch/ppc64 lying there. Maybe I should apply some patch?
    Couldn't find much useful information on this topic by google searching.
    Thanks in advance.

    Shi
