I think the kernel can go either way. It can handle 1 big bank or 7 banks. The parts that were broken in the past were: * U-boot would refuse to tell the kernel about more than 4 banks (that's what my patch fixed). * The kernel choked if it was told about a bogus 8th bank that started at 0 and was 0 bytes big. What about if we just take my patch to support more than 4 banks (Vadim now has good justification for needing it)? ...and then we'll fix our U-Boot not to tell the kernel about a bogus 8th bank (that was just a bug in our config file). _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
