Hi Russell, I've just tried checking the machine_is_xxx() values in the kernel for the list you posted and found just two that are actually being used: arch/arm/mach-orion5x/ts209-setup.c: if (machine_is_ts_x09()) arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/sheevaplug-setup.c: if (machine_is_sheeva_esata()) Would it be possible to just fix these to use the correct form instead, along with the respective mach-types change?
