I use linuxppc-2.4 based tree in our 40x based products. I haven't checked the most recent version of this tree though (mine is based on 2.4.21 version + some stuff from more recent one (mostly for 440)). If you have problems with linuxppc-2.4 on 40x hw, report them here :) Eugene. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
