Ah, good.

Great. We are using the 2VP7's as well, with two National DP83865 GigE phys on the gbit IOs. We have just recieved our kit with the Xilinx ISE software to start playing with it, and are hoping to get our boards back from the manufacturer next week. I was just curious if you had to use any esoteric patches on the (v2.5 I'm assuming) kernel? Also, did you have to worry about using a full featured boot loader like ppcboot? Any pointers would be helpful.
