Go for it. I also give you permission to detail how our firmware is a bit crap in the Fedora release notes. You will have to do that anyway to evangelize the weird setenv hack you just proposed, so it will kill two birds with one stone. Also regarding your original patch; why not just fix the cpuinfo printout so that it doesn't print the machine/vendor properties from firmware. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c;h=a2068faef6ea9c7b5b4fb2db804a32f33e1598b1;hb=HEAD#l155 It's right there. I'd rather they were taken out than putting MORE property changes into fixups. -- Matt Sealey Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations
