I have tried to port the 2.6.38 kernel, though I have hit a bit of
brick wall with it, though I can compile an image I just can't get it
to boot, gets stuck at the "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the
kernel" message.
Any suggestions for a good resource I could use to help me with
porting the kernel, perhaps there is a step I have missed?
