Excuse me for my ignorance, but where is/should the bootinfo version be set?
Wouldn't it be possible to increase the bootinfo major with the boothack
patch that you posted some time ago? 

Also, is the 2.3 tree patched to use the bootinfo fields that I added for 2.2.10 
(b/cvision and bppc+ scsi)? As a matter of fact the best thing would be to do this 
in the kernel but right now we don't know how... 

I just want to make sure that we don't have to use different bootstraps for 2.2 and 2.3. 

Friendly,

Nicholai
