I ported the code from arch/ppc/boot, so if you like that scheme, what is it that you don't like about the patch I sent? The directory structure is the same as arch/ppc/boot, and the generic code is the same as well. > I think arch/ppc/boot/mbx/Makefile does > some of the magic offset stuff you need with quick `sh ` scripts > and also includes piggyback initrd stuff! I picked arch/ppc/boot/sandpoint, which does the offset stuff with standard compiler tools, like objdump. The initrd stuff can be added easily. Pete
