When that comes homefully we can upgrade in a backwards compatible way. I suppose/home it might be as simple as: if test -z ${device} ; then setenv device mmc fi instead of the unconditional setenv. That assumes that the uboot env would then set $device to scsi, but that seems pretty conventional nowadays. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
