Vladimir, thanks for encouraging words, it looks that all hope is not lost yet. However, I would like to point out that I have tested only ev68 architecture, and apparently all the interesting stuff is in the way ev4 and ev5 are handled. I can certainly spend a reasonable time to bring the port up to life, but for now, I propose to revert the patch, until ev4 bootstrap is fixed. Uros.
