Hi everybody (if there's still somebody),

i'm currently trying to get uClinux-2.4.27-uc1 running on my DPCM. Most of the 
cx82100 is already in the stock distribution. Additionally, I've put in most 
armnommu stuff which differed between uClinux-2.4.6.0pre1 and the kernel 
released by Actiontec (including Bruce's files) and also the emac driver. It 
does compile so far, but it does not run. The big problem is that I do not 
own a devlopment board, so I can't look at the serial port for any boot 
messages.

So please, can anybody grab my kernel at 
http://www.bettina-attack.de/jonny/linuz
and look if it does at least outputs some lines. If so, I would have something 
to start with and I'd try to order the parts for the dev board. I'm living in 
Germany and it would be quite expensive due to shipping and import tax for 
all the parts. Maybe somebody can help me with that, I'd also like to have a 
second DPCM and it would be much cheaper to get it shipped in one package 
(also with the 110V power supply removed, it's useles here).

As already noted, the kernel does NOT boot the board completely. However, it 
did not kill the board, i.e. I was able to recover the board with the 
original kernel with the usual hold-button/tftp procedure. But this does not 
mean that it doesn't kill YOUR board, so before you try it out, make sure you 
have the USB recovery stuff working. You have been warned.

Thanks in advance,
  Johann
