hi !
ok thanks, i will try to switch to cvs version.
eric: thanks also for the point about u-boot.
i will look what is easer for me to switch :-)
what is then the best and correct way to give the start-addresse and size to
the linux kernel, to start up physmap_configure() ? a command line, ATAG? or
what, i don't know?
now i have enabled redboot partition parsing which works wonderfull... i have
6 partions on my flash which i don't want to do over commandline, so redboot
partition parsing would be fine :-)
thanks regards manfred
