We keep a lightly used ext3 partition for root, and a FAT partition in the beginning for boot and ACE files. The Xilinx HAL, though ugly as sin, has not given us trouble. We use a PPC405GPr with the SystemACE connected to a peripheral bus. No VIIPro here. this is surely different from the ML300, yet it works. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
