That makes > everything moot. Right. I did consider putting a closer-to-conventional RTAS blob in kbm-unit-tests' special "firmware" (which currently consists of a single jump instruction). It does help to build it BE which RTAS expects. On the other hand, I wasn't about to implement a full OF client interface, so it would still have the main part of the tests relying on finding the blob at some well known location. And finding a well known location that we can count on the tests proper not clobbering is a bit of a pain as well. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
