Hi Bruno, I use mpc8xx-2.2.13 along with some patches from www.solutions4linux.de on a FADS823 board (Rev. Pilot from 1997). The Board has 2 MB flash and 8 MB dram. Linux runs from flash with an initial ramdisk but you can use a nfs-mounted root directory too. I use ppcboot 0.7.2 at the moment. Christian Dr.-Ing.
