[U-Boot-Users] Backwards compatibility of "arch/powerpc" model in 2.6 kernel
I understand that u-boot now has the facility of booting PPC-Linux kernels based on the "arch/powerpc" model -- at least for some processors/platforms.
Once u-boot is set up to boot an "arch/powerpc"-based kernel, can the same bootloader image also boot an older "arch/ppc"-based kernel? Is the infrastructure available to boot older and newer 2.6 kernels from the same u-boot image?

Right.

Yes, of course.
