There is no "3.05" kernel, specifics matter here. There is a 3.5 kernel, is that what you are using? Or is it "3.0.5"? Big difference... > I want to fetch and merger from 3.05 --> 3.2.xx (i.e. 3.2.55) and see if how this new kernel works on the ARM board. > > Can some body guide me with some steps the do such a operations. git merge v3.2.55 when in your 3.0.5 branch should do what you want, have you tried that? But note, that's going to try to merge a lot of patches, be prepared for a mess if you were not really using a "clean" 3.0.5 kernel release... Hope this helps, greg k-h
