Hello, A few days ago I read on IRC, that the old Genesi kernel is being transformed into a proper rpm package. Question: could this kernel be used in the imx51 image instead of the "official" kernel? The advantage is having all hw components supported, most notably graphics, and that there is an up-to-date image to get started. The image without graphics support is a no go for most users, so currently one can only use the image from http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/01/21/opensuse-arm-image/ and update it, which is a kind of difficult, especially since the armv7l -> armv7hl change... hm, we should not build appliances in openSUSE:Factory:ARM which are using external repositories.
What we can do is to create another project and build the image there. And disable/remove the one in oFA.
Best would be of course to merge the kernel source to avoid that ...
Would it be possible to have a proper patch to extend the imx51 support in the openSUSE kernel?
Patch for recent kernels was promised for almost year now, and still without an ETA. So I would not count on that :-( This is why I asked, if using that old kernel is possible for the image.
