Well, the efika is a CHRP board, and thus more akin to the pegasos or IBM boxes than the embedded 52xx boards with regard to the device trees. Nico will provide you an lsprop output. > Some high level comments: > 2.

I implemented those on pegasos last month, but linux refused to boot, and i am currently waiting for comments from benh on the lsprop output. Friendly, Sven Luther
