Is there a pat= ch > or some kernel source that I don't know about for PPC? Thanks! Are you using 2.4 or 2.6? Support for the ML300 & ML403 is in the mainline 2.6 git tree. As long as you've got an xparameters.h file for your FPGA bitstream, you should be able to port a 2.6 kernel really easily. If you want to use 2.4, you can pull the linuxppc rsync mirror which has ML300 support in it. http://www.penguinppc.org/kernel/ (Look at the very bottom of the page for the RSYNC mirror) Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc.
