BTW, I hope that by the end of next week, I'll be able to send Ralf the latest patches for the ev96100. It's running pretty well now with the scache enabled, but I found 96100 misconfiguration problems in the sdram decoders/subdecoders. The DEC tulip (with one small patch), serial.c (small patch again) also run fine, as well as the 96100 internal 10/100Mbps controllers. -- Pete Popov MontaVista Software, Inc ppopov@mvista.com
