[Barrelfish-users] Adding a different ARM-board by copying the existing one

[Daniel Röhrig]

Hi Kornilios,

my colleagues seem to have solved the problem yesterday but I'm not sure 
if it really was a bug. It it was, that means if there was a mixup 
between arch and archFamily that just didn't matter with the other 
arm-ports, we will send you the patch.

Regards,
Daniel
