(the 710a should be 0x41047100 according to Stefan Hanske) hence the debug display of a red line on the screen because of unrecognised architecture.
I'm not very well up on compiling the kernel yet; is there any chance this kind of thing will get fixed in a future compiled kernel on the ARM Linux web site (Russell??)
Does anyone have a compiled kernel they can mail me for a ARM710a RPC?
