Mainly because no one with the indepth knowledge of 8xx (*hint*hint* :)) has gone and fixed the very low level issues on 8xx which need to be fixed, such as some MM thing or another from 2.5.5/2.5.10 timeframe and the exception handling stuff ne3ds a look at, at a minimum based on what Paul has done for 'classic' and what Paul and/or David and others have done for 40x. At which point the more trivial things like fixing up drivers can happen. :) -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
