[Simpad-general] status of the 2.6 kernel?

[Frederic D. <fre...@m4...>]

Hi,

I finally tried the 2.6 kernel from OpenEmbedded. It seems to boot, but PCMCIA 
doesn't seem to work properly (kernel panic...). I managed to boot GPE and run 
applications, but the experience stopped here.

I was wondering if someone (Mickey?) could give a list of what's left to do in 
that 2.6 kernel, maybe with some indications for volunteer workers (where should 
I look, should I port this from the 2.4 kernel, from the Zaurus 2.6 kernel, or 
write it from scratch?)...

A good idea would be to have this on a Wiki (probably OE's Wiki, since 
opensimpad.org's future is undefined).

I'll try again 2.4 for mainstream use (I think a simpad-2.4.conf machine 
configuration file in OE would be great for that. I did one by just changing the 
kernel and adding a PREFERRED_version for orinoco modules - I'll change tslib 
config by hand but this could be done automatically too).
