Hi all, many mails i read in the kernel mailing list show that newer patches should only be applied to andy-tracking kernel and no more to the old 2.6.24 om kernel. Especially the suspend/resume behaviour seems to be a big problem with the 2.6.24 kernel. I install about once a week a new 2.6.24 kernel in debian but in the last few weeks the suspend behaviour didn't change anymore.
I can suspend/resume for short periods within a few hours mostly without problems. But as soon as i suspend/resume for a longer period like 12 or more hours it doesn't work reliable. Many times i got a drained battery after such a long suspend. With every suspend/resume i log the battery loss to a text file which shows that a suspend for such a longer time should be no problem, but it fails about every second time. I read that the suspend/resume behaviour in andy-tracking has been reworked quite a bit. So i want to try the new kernels but at the moment they are not 100% compatible with the userspace tools in the distros. And there is no source for getting a recent 2.6.28 kernel with modules. On [1] the kernel is only rarely updated and the modules package is missing many times. So the question is, when will the default kernel be replaced by the new 2.6.28 andy kernel so that userspace tools could be adapted to it? The not working longer suspend/resume is for me the main problem at the monent with my freerunner. :/ I hope this mail doesn't sound to pessimistic because i really love my freerunner. But i think that the development of the new kernel would get much more feedback if the normal user get the chance to try it without compiling it himself. :) Ciao, Rainer [1] http://people.openmoko.org/andy/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
