Great work with NITdroid though

Just to make it clear - i guess Maemo is not working with this kernel?

@qwerty12: Can i change the partition to boot from?

REMOVE OMAP LEGACY CODE: Delete old tsc2301-mixer.c

REMOVE OMAP LEGACY CODE: Delete old unused touchscreen drivers
...
Maybe there's a mistake here? Are you sure these are required N800 drivers? The tsc2301-core is staying; perhaps they're doing the audio mixing differently now?
How dare they declare my beloved N800s LEGACY!? They're only two years old! OK, the N800 has been discontinued, and two years is a long time in this market, but come on, guys!

LEGACY? <gets all red in the face and roars,> LEGACY?!?

It seems that I would need to learn how to implement double buffering using fb planes as the XV for Xomap to eliminate the flickering.

I couldn't get it to boot.
The doc says it boots from mmcblk0p3 (why p3?) so I used fdisk to partition the internal card and formatted the 3rd partition with ext3 and extracted the filesystem there (as root).
Still, all I get is the penguin logo (N800) or no reaction at all (N810).
The N810 is still on Chinook, the N800 on latest Diablo; is the Diablo bootloader needed for booting this kernel, because my N810 shows no reaction after flashing the kernel?

As you can see it works pretty fast
It looks cool how it crashes at the end of the video
