Well, I had a spurt of productivity last night, and can build angstrom using the new linux-ixp4xx kernel, so I've checked in linux-ixp4xx replacements for all the old ixp4xx-kernel recipes. I'll wait a reasonable time for review and testing of the new recipes before removing any old ixp4xx-kernel recipes (and will double check that nothing else is still using them before doing so). I will mail again with a notification before doing so. Style comments on the new linux-ixp4xx kernel recipes are welcome. (I guess I should have run them through oe-style-thingo before saying that ...) -- Rod
