The fact that is has ARM support does not mean that it will work on your particular board, using a particular ARM SoC. For sure the S3C2410 is supported. You didn't tell us which board you're using, so there's no way we can tell you. > The one reason I feel hestitate to use 3.6 is > that I am not sure 3.6 will results in a zImage too large thant that I > could got with 2.6. Do you have an experience in this? Thanks. Depends on what configuration options you enable in the kernel, and how small your zImage needs to be. Most likely on a S3C2410 based platform you have enough flash space to handle a reasonably sized zImage.
