Hi Greg,first of all thanks for this nice release. Most of the annoying bugs of the last official release are gone, like the problems of incremental builds of busybox, and some kernel flaws.
During experimentation with the truckload of new features i found the following problems: - When building busybox telnetd and integrating into inetd a connection can be established, but will be immediately closed, i used the busybox login and passwd system,too - Selecting the system-shell it seems not to be possibe to choose the busybox msh, either minix-shell and msh both yied a different executable. This is more or less just cosmetic but it would make configuring the system more consistent.
- The whole password/auth procedure is not explained very well- Maybe it would be smart to put /etc into some ramdisk/flash, too in order to be able to do dns-lookups after an DHCP session or toy around with auth - Something about the 520x SPI-Driver seems to be broken, its likely that will try to fix it next week - The second serial port of my EVB does not work correctly when using /dev/ttyS1, while /dev/ttyS0 works perfectly.
While porting it to my hardware which is similar to the MCF5208EVB by Freescale i found out that some SST 39VF64xxxB NOR-Flashes seem to have broken (or ,,improved'' in Marketing speech) tables. These show both sector and blocksizes as distinct eraseblock regions. So these add up to twice the device size. I did a fixup routine for this, which you will find attached to this mail as a patch for linux-2.6.x/ drivers/mtd. Hope i got the XIP stuff right, it was a little confusing to be honest.
Greetings, Peter
