You just moved the free space out of the way of the image you loaded. That is the right thing to do, now we just need to make this happen Let's take Cort's suggestion and break the loader. Make it work correctly for the Prep machines. I will then take that and make minor changes for the 8xx ports. I am considering throwing out all of the hacks for the MBX (inet addresses and stuff). I have only two goals for the 8xx ports. One, it should load in a small memory (less than 4 Meg) configuration. Two, it should load from a high memory flash rom address. I am willing to toss the 4M goal because I don't think you can do anything useful in that amount of space (you can't use a ramdisk). > I'll try upgrading to 2.2.0p7 tonight and see how that works. I should do that too :-). -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
