References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Lucinda, I am having good success with the MPC850. Our board is able to run without MMU problems, and shutting down is not a problem. We are using a kernel leveraged from 2.2.5, so it is a bit older, and I think some of the MMU code has changed since them. Daris Nevil SiSIC Inc/SNMC www.snmc.com Lucinda Schafer wrote: > I agree.
