... When I try to apply the zboot patch, it rejects the chunk for 'arch/mips/Makefile'. However, upon inspection, I am unable to determine why it isn't happy with the patch. Any suggestions?
The Makefiles have been recently updated and the change is obvious and trivial. You can download a new patch from http://embeddededge.com/downloads/amd-alchemy/zboot-2.4.25.patch It's just the cost of wanting to play with the latest public sources, sometimes the patches aren't exactly up to date.
I you don't want to use the CDs provided by AMD with their kits and wish to continue to use the public sources, there are other things to download from this directory as well. The README file explanins all, please read and follow it.
Thanks.
