I tested that it boots. Did not upgrade udev yet.

Re: [pkg-fso-maint] udev 171-1 and linux 2.6.29 and 2.6.34

2011/6/16 Timo Juhani Lindfors timo.lindf...@iki.fi:
 udev 171-1 does not support linux 2.6.29 or 2.6.34 on ARM. This is due
 to use of accept4 syscall among other reasons. Afaik it was implemented
 in 2.6.32 but not wired (=enabled) for ARM until 2.6.36(?).

 As Frederic Wagner pointed on IRC it might be just enough to add

 http://uboot.jcrosoft.org/git?p=linux-2.6.git;a=patch;h=21d93e2e29722d7832f61cc56d73fb953ee6578e

 to our 2.6.34 package.

I created linux-image-2.6.34-openmoko-gta02_20101212.git049b71de-2
overnight and it seems to be now free of the udev CPU consuming
problem I saw before upgrading to it. It's also now compiled with
sid's gcc 4.6, possibly improving ARM optimizations.

It's now uploaded to pkg-fso, but is currently stuck in incoming
because alioth doesn't have the reprepro command previously used to
update the repository. Ideas?

Anyway, one can manually download and install it from
http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/incoming/

Also as a general reminder to the community at large, the 2.6.34
kernel, especially this new one, is a better choice for most Debian
users than the 2.6.37 which has slight booting problems at the
moment :)
