Anyone working on a 2.6 Kernel?
I looks like iRex is willing to help out for those who are working on it. More info Here.
I think the big advantage would be power management (sleep and suspend?) and new module support (Bluetooth, GPS, etc). Do we have any kernel hackers among us? I'm definitely more of a software guy... |

Although I've hacked in the kernel, I've only implemented drivers (I like to read other parts of the kernel, but I've not had any reason to change things O:-). Ok, so I'll post there... P.S.: I've been on vacation some days and it seems that I've missed quite a it of things... time to catch up! |

Great News. There's hope for the power-management.
This is about the point where i'm beginning to think about buying a iRex... Bitz (beeing new her, but watching since a yeare or so) |

Even better...thanks to the reflash option, we can unbrick the iliad if worse happens.

Best ask in the Linux kernel mailing list for help. I am sure you will find kernel hackers to help. Is there a 2.6 port for a similar device available already (mainly same CPU)?

I discovered a page called www.kernel.org where you can always fnd the newest kernel files apparently. I have no idea however whether this would be of any use to anybody since my knowledge of Linux is pretty much 0.

Funnily enough, I noticed that myself earlier on when I was browsing the new PG releases. I'm almost tempted to convert it to the Sony Reader/iLiad. I'm sure it must be fascinating reading .

Given that it has tables, it would be best to strip out the page numbers and run it through html2lrf for the Sony.
