There are custom kernel modifications made to the kernel for the ROGERS DREAM required for it to boot -- it is not compatible with kernels compiled for non-rogers dream. Thus far, HTC Corp. has refused to provide the source for their kernel patches in clear violation of the GPL. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
