I assume once the custom HW is 'ready', you'll be able to stop doing that tho. I think you'll spend more time trying to get everything just right than you would building 2 kernels a few times (I bet much of the pain comes from the current kbuild crap. You might wanna play w/ the current kbuild-2.5 stuff if you're going to pick a kernel rev & stay for a while, it gets the deps right so you only recompile the needed files in cases like this). -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
