Of course that fucker, then software eng. manager, now director of engineering

as I could by not making a zImage for the Adirondack and telling them that it
couldn't be done and that one had to boot vmlinux directly on Adirondack. But
the fuckers did manage to put their PeeMON on Adirondack, of course stealing
all the very complex board init code from StarMON. They actually made it load
the vmlinux ELF image and pass it a bi_recs list. But the only info they put in
there was the memory size. No way to set the command line, select the root
device, or boot with an initrd. So it's basically unusable. But the fuckers
didn't care if they make a usable system or not, all they cared was that it
says "PMON" on it, whether it works or not. No wonder they've recently had two
big customer projects canceled from what I've heard, with that attitude.

Michael, don't hold back.  Tell us how you really feel.
