While Harald is gathering his thoughts about that, I have some things about 2.6.24. The NAND problem was caused by a stgit bug that failed to apply an existing patch properly. I fixed it the hard way and copied the code over from a patched 2.6.22.5, but yesterday I saw what had actually happened. So I removed "my" patch and fixed the mokopatches one. On 2.6.24 the Glamo SD hardware seems to act slightly buggy, but it didn't behave like that on 2.6.22, I guess it is software somehow. I have asked S-Media for technical support on that, AFAIK it's the only regression so far from a proposed move. So the status of 2.6.24-random-upstream-git for our usage is looking pretty decent right now. Matt Hsu at OpenMoko has started attacking the suspend/resume and suspend power issues, and he sent out a preliminary patch to help GTA-02 suspend... right now it is able to suspend/resume GTA-02 if it comes up init=/bin/sh but not resume if it booted through normal initscripts. I will track his patches on the "andy" branch of "kernel" at git.openmoko.org, the first lot are up there already. I also did a test that I had been worrying about for a while. I timed the JFFS2 load time for the default 45MB used (20%) rootfs and timed it again after copying the /usr tree to a new place with cp -rp, so it showed 131MB used (I guess it didn't do the compression yet). The JFFS2 mount time was about the same. BTW... yesterday I turned off the LCD console support on the kernel commandline for testing something else... wah the kernel boot flew by like it was on steroids. Clearly we burn a lot of time scrolling that framebuffer at the moment. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHhf65OjLpvpq7dMoRAvrGAKCR3tGIy0tnrrySrLApfjZ0wHasWQCghSVL pVTFix8hYj9CBqx+T0i9Q2E= =xrrE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
