We currently have the following subarches : powerpc/chrp powerpc/chrp_pegasos powerpc/chrp_rs6k Clearly this would be a chrp-rs6k, but we have to distinguish it from the other chrp_rs6k, which use old powerpc processors, right. This would mean adding something like : powerpc/chrp_power3 powerpc/chrp_power4 Do we need to add the rs6k keywoard ? Are there any power3/power4 which are not of chrp-rs6k lineage ? In particular in what booting is required ? Friendly, Sven Luther
