I have tried it on a machine were I use serial line as console :

No output after the ppcbug "niot" messages. I may comes only from the fact 
that I have no output BUT i tried ping on the machine and it failed.

After testing on a machine with a Video board, I found that the old bug 
for inflates failling was still here (with the wrong output message).

Inflates returns %d... I will send a patch enabling to print decimal
as well... NB : this bug has been reported by alois on the mailling list
with a fix and I have reposted the fix.


=> I'm not able to test anything. Did you update the CVS tree??? In that case
I may regenrate the zImage myself.

As pointed and explained the changes will break the MCP750 anyway. I would
suggest alois to enable (or write) support the WINDBOND specific ISA bridge 
mapping instead of modifying code used by every board.
