Updated SVN

Hi all,

SVN has been updated, Kconfig now really supports setting the DRAM start
address.
previously the setting of this address whould not be used anywhere in the
code .. it apparently was hardcoded everywhere..

Changes are made to
arch/arm/mach-pxa/Makefile.boot
arch/arm/mach-pxa/loox720/loox720.c
arch/arm/mach-pxa/loox720/Kconfig

with these changes it is possible to choose 0xa8000000 as (S)DRAM start and
0x8000000 as (S)DRAM size (128MB)

results are unclear.. we still have no real confirmation that running with
128MB is really stable.
default values should be used if you don't want to experiment with
memorysize.

When booting with >96 MB be sure to use the latest version of Haret (>=0.4.8
)

in the startup.txt or default.txt alter the RAMADDR and cmdline as
appropriate.

Like this 128MB config:

set kernel "zImage"
set mtype "617"
set RAMADDR "0xa8000000"
set cmdline "mem=128M rootdelay=1 root=254:2 rw console=ttyS0,115200n8
console=tty0"
boot

appropriate kernel configuration:

start address 0xa8000000
dramsize 0x8000000

Good luck.. and remember.. always make a backup of your Loox and SDcard
before experimenting with a Linux kernel !!!
