Hello people,
First of all sorry for my english, im a spanish speaker.
I have this smartbook or netbook or something with an Snapdragon processor (ARMv7, with a 1 GHz Scorpion CPU).
I've been reading an its seems that the architecture is similar to a HTC Flyer or Nexus One, I dont know.
Its a great device but the problem is it have Android 1.6.

Is it possibly to have something like archlinuxarm running there?
Im totally lost so it would be helpfull any answer.

Thanks in advance.

Check for a kernel setup, and then I'd say probably so. Might be interesting getting video drivers.

With kernel setup what do you mean?

Sorry but im a bit lost...if you could help me more I would be very grateful!

You will need:
- A kernel that you can build that has devtmpfs & sys_accept4 (we can hack that, a bit).
- Drivers for your display/audio/et al
- knowledge of the bootloader
- Best to have a serial console.

And can I find a kernel like that here?
I can find some info about the bootloader and may find the drivers...

I have never heard of that device. You will need to provide a hell of lot more information, as well YOU need to find kernel sources. We do not have them.
