You need to run the 2.4.x kernel to get the latest support. I have 2.4.0-test7 runing on the SBC8260, but 2.4.0-test8-pre1 panics during startup. I have been getting my kernels from the Linux/PPC BitKeeper Repository at FSMLabs (http://www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html). For a nice packaged solution, I would go to MontaVista (http://www.mvista.com/) and get the Linux Support Package from the CDK version 1.2 (http://www.mvista.com/cdk1.2/) for the SBC8260. ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/CDK/1.2/latest/PowerPC/ppc_82xx/RPMS Look for *sbc8260* ------------------\\----------------------\\---------------------------- Jon Diekema | | Smiths Industries (616) 241-8310 | | 3290 Patterson Avenue, SE diekema_jon@si.com \\ \\ Grand Rapids, MI 49512-1991 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
