If you like to see the patches in context, you can find this stuff in the linux-2.6-denx repository at denx.de The 256K page size stuff is based on and requires as prerequisite the "ppc: Add support for bigger page sizes than 4KB on PPC44x" posted here on April 25, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?q=Add%20support%20for%20bigger%20page%20sizes&id=10646 Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd@denx.de Q: Why do PCs have a reset button on the front?
