flameman,

don't loose time writing, just help testing ;)

We discuss about linux-kexecboot mini-kernels because if those boot properly
with the well-known initramfs image then we can hope the 'production' kernel
will be similarly stable.

We are obliged to dump the old kernels because after the merge OE/Yocto only
kernels after 2.6.32 are supported.
Older always lacked something to properly work with udev or did not
implement core features like devtmpfs, lzma/xz, ...

The best we (zaurus developers/survivors) can do is having a working linux
3.x kernels able to boot the rootfs produced with the new oe-core
toolchains.

I don't have freetime to do more than that and lacking the necessary kernel
knowledge to write patches by myself I can just test and report.

Regards

Andrea

why this email ???

why the hell nobody reports EXACTLY what is working and what is not in
a pretty table putted in a pretty url n in the web ?

why you are toying with newer kernels with out no real reason
probabily "just to try out the cool of the day"

what have i to say ? "UAU 2.6.39 on my zaurus!"


well, what it really working ?

damn, people need stable and real use things: the best kernel for
akita, with the best rootfs to put akita into th real use: i mean what
you need day after day in real life


and well, from my point of view, the last well documented kernel about
akita is 2.6.23, which is assumed as the best one


i mean 2.6.23 has an uptime of 3 years on my akita
so i need some better motivation to update it with a newer one

i mean: 2.6.39, what is working, what is not ? how stable is it ? etcetc
i have no time about toying around it
