I know it's harmless, but is this something that can be "fixed"? That is, can we change some linker script (or whatever) to make 0x700000 the default value? Or maybe modify the wrapper script to just automatically find the right spot without printing a message? -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
