Thanks for considering to spend the time. There actually is a make randconfig in the mainline Makefile already FWIW. I think you will have more fun and progress picking a small driver from our tree and going through doing what is needed to improve it. If you check out the stable-tracking tree and do the Big Diff git clone git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git linux-2.6 git diff origin/master origin/stable-tracking >om-tracking.patch grep ^+++\ om-tracking.patch you can get an idea of everything we are carrying locally and find stuff that interests you that way. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjlGmUACgkQOjLpvpq7dMrSHgCfcavlLldpuHi778/ZBbGhOUCN P+4AnRgB5X84M8W4/nl4v0dXOjU2H1ix =cfRD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
