Hi Grant,

i need your help again :)

my 2.6. kernel is running. now i want to add the system ace driver to
mount a rootfs on the systemace-flash.
but i don't know how to import the EKD driver to the linux kernel, or is
there a ready to go driver in the kernel tree ?
i didn't find anything...
    
You've got 2 choices:
1. use the new sysace driver; it's already in mainline.  The new
driver is faster, but it doesn't handle hotswap of the CF card (yet)
  
But where in menuconfig could i find the sysace driver ? i'm blind, i
think :)
2. use the EDK driver; easiest way is to use my tree which already has
it merged:  http://git.secretlab.ca

  
i made an EDK update and now i have the linux_2_2 os in the software
options. the bsp with all drivers is generated.
and now ?
 - copy to kernel tree 
 - use the xmake  to build the kernel, or make ?

and why is there no dokumentation :)

Thanks a lot
Georg

Cheers,
g.
