Is there any historical reason for it not being included? Pete Popov was already working some zImage code. His link for it: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ppopov/2.6/zImage_2_6_10.patch It worked for me in January on an XXS1500 device, but I haven't tried it on any newer kernel since then. I don't know the current status of it, or if it is going to go into the main codebase at all. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
