Are there any more details you can give? I've got a Sandpoint X3 and Valis (with a 7455 CPU), and aside from the MPC107 Errata #18 problem (http://e-www.motorola.com/brdata/PDFDB/docs/MPC107CE.pdf) which is now fixed, I haven't seen any problems here. Do you have access to this board and a 7455? -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
