+1 for maintaining iop32xx support. I bought and use one for debian development and offer it as a service to open-source developers. Keeping it running with standard stable and sid is essential to this. I also remember nslu2 being the whizzo machine for hackers On 25 June 2013 04:05, Chris Wilkin

> Strange, I've all zeroes right after a boot (with an OABI kernel). Here it's a vanilla Debian armel 2.6.23-1-iop32x kernel on XScale-80219 rev 0 (v5l) It's not serious as misaligned accesses in kernel are always trapped and fixed up. I'd be inclined to close this item for lack of importance.
