Kernel patches
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:11 pm
Dear fit-PC2 developers:
I upgraded my fit-PC to Ubuntu 9.10 using the custom repository and it works fine. However, I don't like Ubuntu and I would very much prefer to use Arch Linux. By the way that distribution is a much better fit to a low profile system like the fitPC.
Now I would like to go on and try using the information from your Ubuntu repository to run Arch Linux with self-built kernel that enables Poulsbo support and other goodies.
In your repository, there is only vanilla kernel and one single 800 k lines patchfile available. This makes it very hard to create a patched kernel that works for other distributions than Ubuntu.
Could you please make available the individual patches for various drivers that essentially compose this patchfile? So I can try to apply one-by-one, skipping unneeded patches (if I understand correctly, there are also generic Ubuntu patches in the large patchfile?) and maybe being able to also fix issues with different kernel versions. For example, 2.6.32 has different driver system for the Ralink wireless card (it works well on Fit-PC2).
Best Regards,
ypnos
