How do you make linux 2.6.10 U-Boot aware?

[Howard, Marc]

Hi,

I'm using MontaVista linux 4.01 for the PPC440GX which is based on
2.6.10.  It doesn't read the bootargs from U-Boot however.  Does anyone
out there have a synopsis of what needs to be modified (bd_info, etc.)
to make this work with a 2.6.10 based release?

Thanks,

Marc W. Howard

Please, take a look at Ocotea port in the latest 2.6 kernel. It 
supports booting from PIBS and U-Boot.

The bd_info structure needs to come from ppcboot.h and the make command
is make uImage  That should be about it.
