I noticed we have 2.6.16.7 kernel in the latest release of kamikaze (5202, kamikaze-brng).

I thought we had 2.6.17 already (or was it in buildroot-ng, which I can't find anymore)?

Hehe, you're probably talking about kamikaze-before-brng, which is exactly that: Kamikaze *before* br-ng

Yep, indeed.
So where to get the newest trunk?

https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/ lists only whiterussian and kamikaze-before-brng?

Is it here: https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ ?

How about https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk?

mangoo: what nbd is saying is that you missed the transition:

Thanks, nbd!

Here are some of my efforts to port 2.6.18.1 to kamikaze brcm-2.6 ... devfs is gone along with some other changes make it quite a challenge ...

I don't have much experience with openwrt, how can I use these patches?

I have checkouted trunk and I have your tarball, what sould I do then in order to use 2.6.18?

actually this work is unfinished.  it's a step at the direction of porting a 2.6.18 for the kamikaze but it needs some more work.  If you don't know what to do with the patches then just don't bother, at least not yet.  I also have some work I did on porting a 2.6.16.29 kernel for the kamikaze.  If I find the time and have some good results I'll put them online.  BTW, this work is for the brcm series only.

Hi!

Few weeks ago I spend some time porting/patching kamikaze to 2.6.18. I fixed all the patches to get a clean compile - yes, I re-introduced the devfs...
anyway, my target was the brcm platform and I have a clear compile process, but... it won't boot. I suppose the problem is somewhere around the timer in "platform initialization"...
But then, other more important things popped up so the "adaptation" was "stalled"...
As "suggested" by Kaloz (http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=34567#p34567) I tried to first "make it work" and then post anything...

What is your status? All working/booting??

Regarding devfs... would it be better to switch to udev? To be honest, I think it's a "overhead not really needed" for such embedded devices anyway, so even a "plain old" mkdevnod would be enough for me... any thoughts?

Regards,
MCulibrk

the status of the above patches is that I don't get a clean compile yet.  should not be much work though.  I tryed not to exclude almost anything from the previous patchset.  According to Alan Cox there was never a devfs  ... http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/1/221

:-)
The 2.6.19 is out...
look here please: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/1021

2.6.19 is in current svn

Does it build and run properly?

Would there be (almost) stable snapshots any time ?
at least generic, brcm and wrt54g ?
ones that boot at least, so we (newbies) could post you dmesg-s etc...?

My hope whas with the open-source driver for broadcom (43xx) in the 2.6 series...
