So if you want that, either you use OpenWrt to build your kernel, or you could use a vanilla 2.6.30 and put those files[2] and patches[3] on top of it. While having a look at OpenWrt provided kernel I came to the point where I realized that the files and patches should be put on the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel because the configuration tools of OpenWrt are not sophisticated enough to handle my requirements. Can any one give me some hints on how to pin down the problem? The files and patches provided by OpenWrt are much different than the way OM kernel is dealt by the OM kernel team. The other approach I have been thinking about is that the kernel v2.6.29-rc3 be merged with vanilla kernel. I have been studying and practcing git branching and merging for a few days now to get some other results so is it feasible for me to merge it myself rather than waiting for the OM kernel team to do so? If yes then please give me some initial tips. This is great news for me. Let me check what I make out of it?

If it cannot be checked out then is there some way that I can move around with patches to get there? Why are you so specific? The version currently in OM repository is 2.6.29-rc3 based. There is a patch series sent upstream (Sun, 10 May to LAKML) that are based on a more recent version. AFAIK, nobody's planning a great rebase, i.e. to rebase all the gta0? support on HEAD of upstream. I think the plan is to wait for upstream acceptance of the minimal machine support (that is likely to happen on the next merge window i guess) and then to send the remaining drivers/fixes upstream as the time permits. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
