Hello, ubuntu-devel-discuss, I have a PandaBoard system created from the image at
> > http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.gz I added the Linaro kernel repository and installed the Linaro kernel because I had problems with the Linaro Ubuntu image. However, when I ran the "flash-kernel" script, I got the following error message: > Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0-1-linaro-lt-omap does not match your > subarchitecture > omap4, therefore not writing it to flash. I worked around the problem by making a minor change to the "flash-kernel" script. I compared the "flash-kernel" script in the Linaro-Ubuntu image to the Ubuntu image and derived the following patch: > --- flash-kernel.old 2012-07-09 14:29:28.752862488 -0400 > +++ flash-kernel.new 2012-07-09 14:31:36.153494248 -0400 > @@ -883,13 +883,23 @@ case "$machine" in > check_subarch "omap" > ;; > "OMAP4430 Panda Board" | "OMAP4 Panda board") > - check_subarch "omap4" > + # Linaro uses the same omap kernel for OMAP 3 > and 4 > + if [ `expr "$kfile" : '.*linaro.*-omap$'` -ne > 0 ]; then > + check_subarch "omap" > + else > + check_subarch "omap4" > + fi > if [ -z "${UBOOT_PART}" ]; then > export UBOOT_PART=/dev/mmcblk0p1 > fi > ;; > "OMAP4430 4430SDP board") > - check_subarch "omap4" > + # Linaro uses the same omap kernel for OMAP 3 > and 4 > + if [ `expr "$kfile" : '.*linaro.*-omap$'` -ne > 0 ]; then > + check_subarch "omap" > + else > + check_subarch "omap4" > + fi > if [ -z "${UBOOT_PART}" ]; then > export UBOOT_PART=/dev/mmcblk1p1 > fi My questions are 1. Is it appropriate to suggest a patch to the Ubuntu "flash-kernel" to support the use of Linaro kernels? 2. If so, where should I submit the patch? -- Thank you, David Cullen -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
