I can let you have patches to MontaVista's Hard Hat 2.0 Linux 2.0 Journeyman release for the MVME2100 - I have it running, using PPCBug for network (tftp) booting. The configuration also allows for blowing a boot image into flash, but I've not actually tested that. I haven't tested the PMC or PC-MIP slots either, so there may still be some hardware configuration issues. I haven't looked at VME bridge software properly yet (this port is only a background project for me), but would be interested in other people's thoughts about this - there appear to be several possibilities, but I haven't looked at them in detail. - Andrew -- Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
