Ah, good.  At least I'm not stumbling in the dark here.

Great.  We are using the 2VP7's as well, with two National DP83865 GigE
phys on the gbit IOs.  We have just recieved our kit with the Xilinx ISE
software to start playing with it, and are hoping to get our boards back
from the manufacturer next week.

I was just curious if you had to use any esoteric patches on the (v2.5
I'm assuming) kernel?  Also, did you have to worry about using a full
featured boot loader like ppcboot?  Any pointers would be helpful.

Cheers,

James Campbell
