Hi,

I would like to learn some more about the Kernel which powers the n900, and why it is seemingly not possible to use newer Kernels > 2.6.28.
My understanding till now is, that it is impossible because of nokia-blobs, but i could not find any more detailed information about that.
Why is it for example not possible to patch newer Kernels in a way to stay conform to any older API which might be used by closed-source-components?
As you see, i am not a Kernel-Specialist but would be never the less grateful if someone could enlighten me a little bit, or point me to some documentation.

Kind regards,
nebel
