Kernel 2.6.25-omap1 on Nokia N810

Kernel 2.6.25-omap1 on Nokia N810

[cyrus]

Has anyone had success getting this kernel to boot on a Nokia N810? I 
downloaded the stock 2.6.25 kernel, applied the -omap1 patches as well 
as the N8x0 patches (from muru.com) but when I boot the kernel it goes 
into a kernel panic.

Thanks

I suggest you try newer kernels. Also, please post the kernel panic
message. Without information is pretty difficult to guess what's going
on ;-)

In any case, 2.6.25 should be working fine with n810, I suppose.

Okay, I will try the latest kernel for which the OMAP patches exists.

Sorry for not posting the message but I am fairly new to trying this 
kind of development, etc. When the message scrolls by, it only leaves 
the last few messages on the screen, not the whole thing. I have no way 
of going back and reading all the messages.

Thanks

at the bottom you should see part of the backtrace, at least. That
already helps a bit ;-)

Okay. I built the latest (2.6.27) and it appeared to boot much further. 
I saw the splash screen and the scroll bar across the bottom. However, 
at the last minute (just before the Nokia hands go away) it loops and 
reboots again. How can I go about telling what is happening at that 
point?

Thanks
