Linux on PPC 855

From: Paolo Marini <hidden>

Anybody tried out a 2.4 kernel on the Embedded Planet RPX Net board with 855
processor ? I
suppose the normal kernel configured for an 860 CPU (without the peripherals
present in the 860 and removed on the 855) works on this board

Thank you

Yeah, but I didn't know they were actually going to ship that
board as a product.

Almost.  There are a few subtle differences in some board control
registers.
