Yes.  I'd recommend applying Ameet's patches at
http://www.linux.get2knowmore.com/
however you will still need to change a few macro lines for the
COMPACTFLASH addresses.

There is also a major error in the board_info structure.  Someone
changed this data structure for the ml403 & ml300 so that it
no longer matches the UBoot form.  The one in asm/ppcboot.h is
correct. Someone else asked about this back in June.  So ....
