I'll see what I can do with it tonight. Just copy the stuff I did for the 8xx/MBX ports in misc.c. Add a #define string to the config process and pass it into misc.c during compilation. When a system has some type of environment strings you could rummage around in there to find the default information. An example can be found in the embedded 2.1.127 kernel tarball. There are modifications in there that I have not yet added to the real kernel. It reads serial EEPROM or other NVRAM storage commonly found on the 8xx cards. Using any type of environment string would allow system changes without recompiling. Have fun :-). -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
