Awesome, and I've tested it with a Fedora kernel and it works there
also. Thanks for the quick turnaround and the ability to just stick the
patch into the olpc.fth file is awesome. For a "screenshot"...
Fedora release 9.91 (Rawhide)
Kernel 2.6.27-0.329.rc6.git2.fc10.i686 on an i586 (/dev/ttyS0)
localhost.localdomain login: root
Last login: Tue Sep 23 01:20:19 on ttyS0
[root at localhost ~]# dmesg |grep OLPC
OLPC board with OpenFirmware CL1 Q2E17 Q2E
OLPC board revision preC200000 (EC=52)
PCI: Using configuration type OLPC
Now to fixing the new things which popped up and are more firmly in the
realm of kernel bugs... :-)
