Would someone care to share experiences privately about 4xx ports? Cheers, Jon. P.S. The stock 2.4.21 kernel on has a bunch of very trivial bugs (from losing a register in the syscall handler to breaking shared ptes) and will not compile correctly out of the box so to speak. A lot of people seem to be using the Montavista tree as a result. Now rather than whining I would also like to help so am asking to make contact with whoever co-ordinates merging these trees together etc. --------------060504040009010306090402-- ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
