<tt>What exactly is the intent of PPC_MULTIPLATFORM - the current desc states "Generic desktop/server/laptop" - which doesn't exactly scream 'embedded' to me either. I guess I saw embedded6xx as a 'catch-all' for everything else.</tt><br>

I might be missing something - but when you removed EMBEDDED6xx from powerpc/Kconfig in patch 8, and removed MPC7448HPC2 from embedded6xx/Kconfig in patch 6 - where did you move the MPC7448HPC2 config section to? Is your thought that it will depend on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now as well?</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>This may be slightly off topic - but one other thing I have noticed that the new boot wrapper script supports specific 'types' of zImage files associated w/ 'MUTIPLATFORMS' (PSERIES, CHRP, PREP etc.) and uImage - which is what I think the majority of 'embedded' platforms will use by defining CONFIG_DEFAULT_UIMAGE. For IBM boards with PIBS just 'normal' zImage ELF files get loaded - I'm not sure if there should be another type defined/supported for boards which don't fit necessarily into a PSERIES/CHRP/PREP definition and also don't use uboot - CONFIG_DEFAULT_ZIMAGE? </tt><br>
