@reey But how do I get the linux-armv7-chromebook to boot? I just tried it, and failed again:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -S linux-armv7-chromebook

A new kernel version needs to be flashed onto /dev/mmcblk0p7.
Do you want to do this now? [y|N]
n
You can do this later by running:
# dd if=/boot/vmlinux.kpart of=/dev/mmcblk0p7
')
Of course I'm not flashing my root partition! But putting this vmlinux.kpart on /dev/mmcblk2p2, from where my self-compiled kernel (see extensive last post) boots just fine, did not do much: just a black screen. So how should this be done?
"you are just able to use 2GB or your RAM"... oh, this made me check, and yes, my kernel also just uses two of the four GB... how can that be changed?
The Mesa news you posted, reey, are really good news!
