You'll probably get a response something like this or this.

Technically, it's Ubuntu based, so we should use the Ubuntu section. Oh, wait, never mind.

@Solca and Stskeeps: Is it true that you guys are collaborating on a n8x0 U-Boot port?

I gave my opinion when requested, is there a problem?

If you want more forums, feel free to pursue the issue. I don't believe we need more, but it's hardly up to me.

Ubuntu provides a system based on Debian with frequent time-based releases, corporate accountability, and a more considered desktop interface.
I so see the error of my ways now... my mistake.

The kernel and image resulted in an endless reboot loop on my N810 for v 0.6.

...Just thought I'd throught that out there for anyone considering giving it a try.

remebered to add .item for it, that contains linuxrc -option?

The kernel bypasses initfs, so no item required.

I meant the flash installed images. I guess I should have specified. Either way, they leave the N810 in a reboot loop. I tried it with and without RD mode enabled.

No, we were looking into using a minimal kernel + embedded FS and using kexec for booting the actual OSes (http://guug.org/nit/nitselector/), but there's currently a problem kexecing when r&d serial mode isn't in use. It works when it is in use.

cool, do you guys have some mailing list or forum or something (except irc) where you discuss these things and real work gets planned and done? Mer looks cool but I am having problem even with watching you. Scanning #maemo archives for mer is not fun. You don't need any permanent place for discussion (list, forum)?

I've seen http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer and https://bugs.launchpad.net/m-r but it did not help much :-)


I was trying kexec sometime ago with chinook kernel when OS2008 came but did not get very far. The kernel part was maybe OK (there were some patches needed for preserving boot time kernel tags) but I failed to load kernel from userspace, it just segfaulted.
