XUPV2P update to kernel 2.6 fails

[saadia dhouib]

You have better to use EDK 9.1. 
I tried to use EDK 10.1 for the xupv2p and I used the board defintion file
from 
  https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/ittc/Eecs388#Tool_Repository . 
Linux 2.6 booted correctly, but I failed to get the Ethernet working.

So I used EDK 9.1 to generate the device tree. Now I have linux 2.6 on my
xupv2p, with root file system 
on a remote host (nfs boot).
I still have a problem, I didn't succeed to access the flash disk (pbs with
sysace driver).

If you want more precise informations, I can help you.

Good luck :)
