Hi all,
I want to put the Toshiba AC100 kernel (kernel-tegra-ac100) in Factory.
This is a patched chomeOS kernel for the AC100 : https://gitorious.org/~marvin24/ac100/marvin24s-kernel
With our goal to make the arm port an official openSUSE port, you should also try to get the patches part our official kernel. Or even better in upstream kernel.
Upstream please, maintaining dozens of patches in our tree doesn't help anyone. It just makes rebasing to new kernels harder.
Easier said than done. Despite the weird name, this is the ac100 kernel used by Ubuntu for their official Oneiric ac100 release.

This whole kernel situation on ARM is a serious nightmare ...
Yes. Maybe we should switch to a Linaro kernel. ;)
Every time we derive from the actual upstream kernel, we (as in the openSUSE arm community) have to maintain _everything_ ourselves. Got a kernel bug? Our problem. Don't support new kernel interfaces? Our problem. Don't feel like rebasing the ~300 SUSE patches on top of the next Linaro kernel version? Our problem. Security bugs? Our problem. I would much rather the above be the openSUSE kernel folks' problem rather than ours. We already have enough on our hands to just get all of the distro built properly. Using non-upstream kernels will definitely not get us anywhere close to an openSUSE 12.2 with official ARM support. At least not for more than the 1 or 2 devices that actually work there.
