Well, there are probably folks out there who continue to use 2.4
kernels (which on 8xx makes perfect sense to me).

Well, let's face it: if 0x200000 doesn't work  as  load  address  any
more because your kernel is too big, then you won't get lucky with it
at all on a 8 MB system.


I don't really care about the mpc885ads, but  I  feel  you  remove  a
feature  which  might  be  useful  for some to overcome a restriction
which does not really solve a problem, because  you  will  just  hang
again in the next step.

But you decide...


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
