[Ebolinux-devel] Linux 2.2.20

[<ho...@ly...>]

Hi,

now we've managed to get Linux 2.2.20 up running on the eB103. I've
tried to port only the modifications that were *really* needed,
to make a possible transition to 2.4 run smoother. I've removed
most of the dependencies to the special eB10x BIOS, removed
(means: not ported) some CPU- and network monitoring stuff
that cluttered up various files such as sched.c and others. I haven't
ported any of the drivers needed for some eB101-only hardware devices
(ISDN cards and probably other stuff I can't remember right now). If
you have a eB101, and want some special driver, please let me know.

The kernel seems to work, as far as I see. It hasn't been tested
very much, but the must basic stuff like booting up, detecting the
hardware, bringing up the network interfaces etc seems to work ok.

If you want to run the more well-tested (presumably) more stable
2.2.13 you can check out using the BEFORE_NEW_KERNEL CVS tag.

And thanks to the real guru, Ulf Eklund, for the debugging help.

Kind regards,
        Mattias
