which kernel?

Postby jdr » Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:17 am

In reviewing the kernels on the github, and comparing it to discussions in other topic areas, I'm at a loss to identify the correct kernel, or even an appropriate kernel for the pogo pro.

Can anyone suggest which make sense?

Or does the comment about everything being under NDA answer the question?

very cheeky.

Let me ask in another way.

If one had a desire to compile the current Arch Linux kernel as available for the pogoplug pro. Where would one find the kernel sources to download?

The one that gave me best mileage is the 2.6.36.6 from CE, with the armv6 patch. It is somewhat limited and painful to extend but it is quite stable.

then was the 2.6.36.14, which exhibits rare but repeatable sata errors while under heavy load.

the 3.x kernels just aren't stable enough.

But I have to admit I've not been dealing with custom kernels for a while and in any case that was BEFORE the backport of devtmpfs to match the current state of upstream archlinux.

At this point I would stick with whatever WarheadSE made available.
As I said in another thread the pogopro is a nice device but not the best choice when it comes to tinkering that involve recent/custom kernels/modules.

Keep in mind you will also need to backport devtmpfs :)
