Hi List, Julien,

Thanks for the suggestion how to do it. I'd like to ask 2 questions in 
advance before i recompile my kernel here:

isn't it:
prom_num_displays()
in:
/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/syslib/prom_init.c?

> add a break; statement at the very end of the for() loop.

So this snippet:

        for (i = 0; i < prom_num_displays; ++i)
                prom_display_paths[i] = PTRUNRELOC(prom_display_paths[i]);

would become:

        for (i = 0; i < prom_num_displays; ++i)
                prom_display_paths[i] = 
PTRUNRELOC(prom_display_paths[i])break;

right?
This is on a debian 2.6.14 kernel, sources from kernel.org.

Oh, i am looking forward to give my talk on saturday on my box here with 
m3mirror working!
Thanks a lot for this great help!


regards,

Peter
