Hi all,
just reporting my failures:
I tried to add all of nalims changes (as referred to by Antarctica) to the 2.6.32-rc6 kernel. It was mainly copying relevant stuff from nalim's kernel in the new one. However, I got already abad feeling when looking in all the changes which have happened in the arm architecture part in the new kernel, new interrupt handling totally new names for initialization routines, and more.
Even if I had a small configuration, letting netconsole run on qemu, I of course did not get any results (netcat stays dead) when kexecing the my own kernel.
It cost a weekend and was worth the try. However without a physical serial port, I think it's impossible to continue here.
I will think some days longer, but I am in the mood of trying to sell my iliad again and using something more pc like until I can afford an e-ink based programmable platform.
For now, thanks for your support,
Ulno
