I'd prefer if your patches are in the linx-m68k CVS. Either way, I'll have to build a new kernel-patch package before I build new kernel-images. kernel-image is the time consuming part, when built on m68k, but for testing I will cross-compile an image first. > > OK, enough theory, now to the real life: on Falcon with at least AB40 > > and CT2 (accelerators providing also FastRAM) the bootstrap makes sure > > to quit if either of these bits is set.

I am working on a solution (not > > sure if I get it ready for rc2 - how much time is it, anyway?). Please do not break CT60 support. Or first board has been shipped and when Michael returns in a week, I am sure he wants to install debian on it... Christian
