We'd appreciate it if you could give -current a shot - we rewrote
half of the powerpc-specific code ( like interrupt handling,
bus_space, bus_dma, PCI support and so on ) and there was a hell of a
lot of development in the rest of the kernel as well ( and userland,
like threading for instance ).
The right person to ask about sandpoint is Tohru Nishimura
(nisimura%netbsd.org@localhost) - he wrote the sandpoint-specific code and
actually made the port work properly again.

I failed applying the patches to 4.99.55 source tree.
There seem to be a lot of difference between before/after ppcoe- renovation.

No kidding ;)

I'll ping if ever new patches come (and work).

Did you read what Izumi Tsutsui wrote in an earlier mail? Support for Kurobox seems to be already in -current, we just need someone with the actual hardware to test it.

have fun
Michael
