Here is the relevent post on linuxppc-embedded: http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org/msg30049.html Well, I'd really like to see support for the mvme5100 to be reintegrated in the kernel. I'm willing to help on this, but at the moment I don't know how much work is to be done, as I don't know how the switch from ppc to powerpc changed things. If anybody of you is interested please drop me an email. Thank you, Paride
