Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] ipodloader on ppc

[Steven L. <sl...@uc...>]

Hi,

I grabbed the CVS version and the bootloader now works.  I still had to add
-N to LDFLAGS, but the ipod shows tux and I can choose which OS with the
buttons.  The bootloader is very handy:)

I'll work on the kernel issues later tonight.  (I tried both the 2.95 and
3.2.1 toolchain built from the uclinux source).

Thanks,
Steven
