Yesterday I spoke with a developer at MontaVista (who gave a nice presentation about locking and preemption in the Linux kernel by the way) and talked to him about the availability of old sources. Today he emailed me a link to the entire MontaVista 2.1 development kit CD. I made some diffs between:
- Linux 2.4.17 and Linux 2.4.17_mvl21
- Linux 2.4.17_mvl21 and Linux 2.4.17_ps2
Patches are available for download at:

Not that the patches are really useful, but it could ease the effort of finding the Playstation2 bits in the sourcecode. |
