Hi,
  Ok just to announce that a new 1.2 beta snapshot is online.
This should have the problem of binaries generating SEGVs
fixed. (Had to relink with a new crt0)
There is also a new kernel (4444) online.
In addition there is a new release of the bootloader
Folks are recommended to upgrade to the new bootloader
New kernels will warn you if the bootloader is too old.

There is not much noticably new in the kernel. Most of the changes
have been source changes to support the A7000.
However the screen blanking code hasv been fixed,
the soft interrupt system made more reliablenew iomd
support etc.
Also the etherH driver now supports the packet filter
so tcpdump and rarpd will now work on the eh interface.

Cheers,
				Mark
P.S. Sorry if the formatting is odd but I keep getting ibuf overflow
console messages, really must fix those ;-)
