Ok, i think that did it, and i have a 200kb diff against 2.6.11 :) Many of those are just 64340-> 643xx replacements though. What are your plans for mainline inclusion of the rest of those, and is it ok to work directly with your stuff ? Do you have any experimental or dangerous parts in the above ? And did you ever get the gigabit ethernet port working on a powerpc board ? Or are there some Kconfig parts i have missed ? Friendly, Sven Luther
