If the configs are to be placed under config/armvX, then you're missing a change to rpm/arch-symbols.

No, I did not miss it, I reverted it.

Not in the patch you posted. And you additionally need to modify ./rpm/arch-symbols --list to list all the arm families.

sorry, missed this in my local git. Fixed version attached.

There is no way to have a single config for armv5 and armv7 IMHO.

Correct. It may be possible when armv8 is released in a couple of years, but having spoken in depth with Linaro who are trying to clean up this area, they said it is a slow and often painful process but they are making some progress.

Also, are you talking to Andrew, who has been working on more or less the same lately?

I had contact but never saw any patch. AFAIK he only works on specific kernels for specific hardware (which would also be armvX specific), while this kernel is supposed to be as near as possible to the standard SUSE kernel.> The latest patch he posted is at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2011-11/msg00024.html.

Are you saying you want %arm = armv7l or are you saying something else?

%arm is "armv5tel armv7l armv8l ...."

...

At present I have all the arm configs in config/arm/, which would build on armv7l. Should we add any armv5 devices they would also live in there. I'm not sure that the -default kernel would actually run on any hardware, so it would be isolated to qemu really wouldn't it?

I think we need to split this again into

config/armv5tel config/armv7l config/armv8l

what allows us to have a kernel packages with same name but different config.

I've rebased my patch according to Adrian's request to have a separate armv* config. All build fine, although I haven't tested - still trying to workout how best to do this, any hints?

Thanks, I applied your and Adrian's patches and sat down to refine configs so they actually build properly. We now have 4 flavors: - default (QEMU?) - imx51 (EFIKA) - tegra2 - omap (pandaboard) I have verified that I could barely boot the omap kernel on a pandaboard. I did however get the weird kernel messages I sent out to the ARM list earlier. But that's a separate issue - at least we have something to base on now. So if you have an ARMv7 box and you want to have openSUSE running on it, please check if the kernels actually work for you. I'm pretty sure we did some config pieces wrong at random points :) Also, we have a new build requirement for ARM: mkimage. There is a package on its way to Factory called u-boot-tools which contains mkimage. We need this to convert the zImages to uImages which u-boot can boot off of. But since it's covered by %if %arm we should be fine until it actually hits Factory :).
