Freerunner, strange issues with kernels = 2.6.28; some boot, some don't
Hello, I'm still struggling with the newest kernels = 2.6.28. I tried SHR [1], OM2009 (latest)[2] and Android [3]. All have a kernel = 2.6.28. But only the kernel of Android works! So I downloaded the latest Andy-tracking-more-drivers kernel [4] and flashed it to the freerunner and it works, but the wireless network of this kernel doens't work. Tried the andy-tracking-more-drivers-stable but this kernel also doesn't work :-(. Moving to the experimental kernels [5] doesn't work too Even boot from SD doesn't work :-( I think I forgot something, but what When I start the Freerunner, the system says (with experimental kernel [5]) : freerunner NAND read: device 0 offset 0x8, size 0x20 2097152 bytes read: OK ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 3200 ...

OK Loading Kernel Image ... OK OK Starting kernel ... /freerunner that's it. I've tried u-boot and qi, but the results are the same. In short: Only the standard kernel from Android and the uImage-moredrivers-GTA02_andy-tracking-d1a9cf85c8608601.bin are working. Other kernels don't. Maybe there is something with my u-boot / qi environment? Can I clean up that with dfu-util? Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.

Kernel 2.6.28 (still) not running on my Freerunner
Hello, Today I tried again to flash the latest images, kernel and u-boot from the downloadsite of OpenMoko [1]. I have downloaded: - fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 - uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0 +f19f259d3c1afde8eae53983fd19f61831927413-r2-om-gta02.bin - u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1 +gitr650149a53dbdd48bf6dfef90930c8ab182adb512-r1.bin and flashed them to my Freerunner, and rebooted. As always with kernel 2.6.28 the phone is dead after the message Starting kernel I used neocon to reset to the default environment, but it doesn't matter. How can I trace the problem?

[SHR] Kernel 2.6.28 not working on my Freerunner
Hello, My first post on the mailinglist :-) because I don't know how to fix this :-( Today I downloaded the latest kernel and shr-lite-testing release, ran into u-boot and flashed my Freerunner. I'm going with my [AUX]-button to the boot option and pressed the power-button. The screen says that the kernel was loaded successfully and stopped at starting kernel. I waited for more then a hour, after then I removed the battery for a hard shutdown. The kernel is 2.6.28. Kernel 2.6.24 is booting nice. But I want to know what's going wrong (kernel panic)? What kind of information do you want to help me fix this? Eddy ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The included version of frameworkd is missing the necessary changes... For the new kernel you have to use shr-unstable right now. This will changes with the next testing image... which will be due, when we have sorted out one or two problems of the current unstable image. phew It's not my Freerunner :-) ... just the software. I will switch back to unstable until the new image is released. Keep up the good work!
