Hi, I gave up trying to merge 3.7-rc1 to 3.2. There a lot of changes... :/ The problem that's i can't run the 3.7-rc1 on BeagleBone. I git the last linux-omap kernel, but there isn't the defconfig to the am33xx processor. The only kernel that i could run, it was the 3.2 that comes with the TI SDK.
If anybody has the defconfig or another way to run the 3.7 on beaglebone i would appreciate very much.
