My source tree is finally the way I want it and I would be sending
Ron my changes tommorrow except it looks like I have introduced a typo
that causes the l440gx to die in the kernel before printk is up.
So tommorrow I debug that and then I should have my boatload of
code changes to integrate in.
The alpha code looks solid now, and ready to accomodate the
older architectures.
I have moved the decompressor out of linuxbiosman.c and am now using
inflate.c
I discovered that we appear to have been allocating our data segment
at 0x50000-0x???? while allocating our heap at 0x30000-0x70000 which
might be the cause of some problems.
My gripes with the linuxbios code are currently confined to
hardwaremain and a lack of generality in NLBConfig.py which is a vast
improvement over where it was before I started shredding the code :)
Anyway as soon a I get the l440gx booting, all of my stuff should
remain stable so I should have more patience with Rons merge
foibles...
Good Night All,
Eric
