Re: Stability of network/io on MPC8540ADS?

[Kumar Gala <kumar.gala@freescale.com>]

Stefan,

I've pushed the bug fix from Yuji and a number of other changes to the
linuxppc-2.4 bitkeeper tree.  Please note that this change requires an
updated u-boot due to memory map changes.  The patches exist on the
u-boot list from Jon Loeliger.  I'm not sure if they have yet made it
into u-boot CVS for the MPC8540/60 ADS boards.

If you have any other issues let me know.
