Re: [Astlinux-users] Add drivers 0.4

[Manuel <lis...@gm...>]

Kristian,

I would like to use 0.5 but the problem is time. What is your plan for
releasing 0.5? I need to finish this system in a few weeks and by the moment
the system not boot. I need to resolve a lot of thinks (vlan, provisioning,
dial plan, sounds, directory...) and test the stability of all. My first
intention was always to start using trunk. Then make all the development and
when the 0.5 be ready try to upgrade.  I have reviewed in kernel.org the
changes logs from 2.6.16.12 to 2.6.20. A lot of changes and several speaking
about mini-itx motherboards. In this moment I prefer go to trunk but the
problem is trying to install in my compact flash. The generated livecd works
but not the install part. I have tested grup but give me another error about
a file not found. I have seen that you are upgrading grup package. I will
try again this night and give you my results.

Only another question. Exists differences in trunk between Geni586 and Via
targets? 


Thanks,

--
Manuel

Manuel,

  Dang.  I was hoping that would do it.  I guess that would have been too
easy.

  It would be a lot of work to backport the full driver from 2.6.20.

  0.4 is the stable tree and I won't upgrade the kernel.  Do you have
any serious aversions to running 0.5 when it is released?
