That would be a reasonable argument if generic distro installers or kernel packages were likely to support the TN7 and SHIELD. However, given the bootloader situation there and the need for a custom kernel anyway for APPENDED_DTB, I assume that's not the case on this particular device? If you do intend to support this device with SuSe installer and kernel packages, could you give an outline of how you do so? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
