Why? Please, someone say to me, why have I two source kernels in one cd to
dm646x: one kernel has support to dm646x and the other *not*?

More than it: why the damn quickstart told me to use the *wrong* path!???
This version didn't support dm646x! And of course, it doesn´t have the
davinci_dm646x_defconfig file!!

The correct path is the other: */opt/montavista/pro/devkit/lsp/ti-davinci .*

I discovered it after this discussion and after had made a search in my
whole file system for "davinci_dm646x_defconfig". All the other documents
and how-tos just said to "go to lsp directory" or "going to the kernel path"
and because the quickstart, I always tried to use ti-davinci_evm-arm_v5t_le
.

Gosh! Seen that someone just copy/paste the instructions and files to dm6446
into this CDs without take a look or test the process =/ And, more than it,
this other source, why is it here in a support's CD to dm646x?
Someone from Texas, please, correct it in the next installation CD.

I lost one day because mistakes in the documentation and misinformation.

Thanks for all the help here.
