Last night I tried to boot a 2.6.21 kernel on the ROKR E6.


Congratulations! :) You are the first one to boot OpenEZX on E6.

The kernel booted and displayed its messages in a small green font on
the display.


Shouldnt be a green font. Probably the lcd is not the same as e680 and your
fb configuration is wrong.

I tried to make it use a root filesystem on the second partition of the
SD card, but if failed. I didn't have time to try to figure out why (it
can be some silly mistake AFAICT).


Its not a mistake. SD card support is only added on phone-mci.patch files.
It may be a little tricky to get your sd card running, on e680/a780 it
depends on powering on the card, which in turn depends on PCAP driver
working.
Anyway, after PCAP works for you everything will become much easier. This
ASIC implements power control over almost all components on the phone,
touchscreen, sound, etc..

Thanks to everyone involved into getting a new 2.6 kernel for the ezx
phones. I hope I can start helping a little more from now on,


Thank you for your work. If you want to colaborate with us i think that your
next steps should be:
* Create a Kconfig entry and ezx-e6.c file for your phone and merge your
work on ezx-core.patch
* Test our PCAP driver on your phone (i dont think that motorola changed
pcap on e6)
* Discover which pcap bits power up your SD card (if any)
* Write an e6-mci.patch which powers up the sd card and puts a platform
device for the card controller.
* Start working/testing other hardware.

After you get SD working the next step will be EMU, it will be a little
harder because Motorola changed EMU on E2 (probably E6 also) dotmonkey has
some code (which is not on our patchset yet) to use the new EMU.

Thank you very much! /me very happy :)
