I'm taking the 2.2 version and going from there, as I did with the SMC driver. > Are you using SMC1 for the console? Is this a custom board? console = SMC1. First ported to SBC8260 (EST board), then to custom h/w. The custom h/w has an IDE interface; I hope to get the whole linux-1999 Q3 working on it; that should be interesting. > Do you want any of the work patched into 2.2.15 or 2.3.99? Sure! It might be a few weeks though... Neil. -- Neil Russell ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
