Hi Everybody
I downloaded this stuff, merged it in and tried it. Everything worked fine except the serial console connections are not showing the bootloader information that was introduced with Cort's serial console changes. I don't yet know why as I am suddenly swamped with work but I will track it down in the next few days if nobody else does. Othwise this looks really great.
I really like the configuration changes Gary mode for the command line stuff and being able to configure the mouse to force initialization.
