I don't know exactly the trouble, but Embedded Planet is working to correct this. I have discussed it with them, and probably bypassed their normal technical support channel so the person that answered the phone or replied to your e-mail may not see any problem report....... I get around this two ways. First, split the download into smaller pieces. Second, modify a Linux/PPC kernel to only use the first 4 Mbytes of memory, put it into the flash rom, write a program to copy a file from the (NFS) file system into mmap()'ed physical memory, and modify the kernel restart function so a reboot with the appropriate parameters jumps to this new code. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
