I'm a little bit afraid of enabling this for older machines blindly. I think I'll do a patch that looks for a specific config option on the command line until enough people have tested it. After all, this may put user's datas at risk. Until Paul finds a more clear meaning of all this, this option should allow to test if the values we found in MacOS are fine for all machines. I could add code to BootX that sends the current MacOS values to linux but this would really be too hackish, I think. I'll update my test kernel and patch set later tonight or tomorrow. -- E-Mail: BenH. Web : [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
