I'm using kernel 2.6.28 from the maemo kernel source. I started with that one because I knew it would boot and I could patch in some of the android changes based on the work on nitdroid. I suppose since its prior to 2.6.30-rc8, its using the old code. I looked into getting the most recent linux omap dss2 drivers from gitorious but I wanted to see if there was a way to patch this easily before going down that path.

bdogg thanks for the updates. I hope you make some more progress I'm assuming that just because you would have it running on the 900 does not mean it will be similar to getting it working on the 810?

Are you still working with the deprecated 2.6.30-rc8 code or is this with current stuff (new omapfb, etc)?
It looks like with things like http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...4aad7100ca03f0 someone is paying attention - I might pursue this again if I can get a recent kernel to boot right. The key is finding something new enough for the Android patches (PMEM, wakelock, etc.) to apply to without a complete rewrite while not finding something so new that everyone's rewritten everything again - kernel development moves way too fast these days since there is no development branch.

Good news. Android (Donut) boots on the n900! The touchscreen isn't working correctly though. Wherever I press the screen it thinks I'm bringing down the window shade. And I need to update the keyboard layout files, but it works using bootmenu!
I used the rowboat build of android because the stock source build from android crashes when booting.
More details later :-)

I would prefer to use the stock android source, but rowboat works for now.
