I will look into that. It is confusing as the la= test ltib appears not to have the aliases. This is my first venture into E= mbedded Linux as our existing PowerPC products use PSOS.

I hope to return= the Rev A4 and make the boards all Rev B because it has a later processor.= The Rev B boards have 1.3.0 so it should need the aliases as well. Looki= ng in the uBoot changelogs there are some nice additions and fixes for this= board so I will look to dig more into uBoot and upgrade it. I hate to stu= mble out of the box. > >=20 > > 73 Eric > >=20 >=20 ----- End Original Message -----
