So I modified the > m8xx_gorom (I think), Sure, pick on the one thing I constantly mess up across the various releases and patches :-). I don't even know why this function is in this file, as it needs to be different for almost every board. It is only a couple of lines of code, so have fun. I am more concerned about messing up the kernel initialization code. There are many assumptions (valid) that are made here about the rest of the kernel structure. Similar to having unique processor and board initialization somewhere, this is unique to the Linux kernel. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
