What, specifically, is meant by "a suitable kernel shall exist"? In practice, there's isn't a single such kernel version. I'm currently using 3.0.8. That version most assuredly fails miserably without defining CONFIG_SYS_(CLOCKS|PADS)_ENABLE_ALL in u-boot. That kernel is part of the 3.0.x longterm lineage which as I write this is at 3.0.71. Is there a belief that 3.0.71 would work without the legacy support? That upgrade wouldn't be too bad since kernel ABI changes are not generally done via patch level version changes. But forcing an update to 3.4.x, 3.8.x or even later just to keep current with u-boot is an entirely different thing. I'm very worried if that's what's being proposed here as it would be very user unfriendly. -Mike _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
