ALL,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=284292418-13092005>We are developing a
custom board mother board based on</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=284292418-13092005>MPC8541 processor
trying to run with Linux 2.6.11. The custom board has hardwire

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=284292418-13092005>interrupt lines for
PCI peripherals with specific interrupt number for each peripheral.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=284292418-13092005>Is there anyway we
