Problematic fix:Commit log wrote:powerpc/mm: Only define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS in SPARSEMEM configurations
The first if statement isn't successfull because the variables CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME and CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES aren't activated in our kernel configuration. Therefore we need MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 46 for our Nemo board. Unfortunately CONFIG_SPARSEMEM doesn't exist in the kernel source code so we can't activate it in the kernel config.Code: Select all

I replaced #elif defined(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM) with #else and after that the compiling of the RC2 works again.
I reported this issue to the Linuxppc-dev mailing list today. Link: PowerPC fixes 5.1-3: CONFIG_SPARSEMEM doesn't exist in the kernel source code
