Hello,
I have built kernel 2.6.31.6 with modules and a generic ramdisk that works for some combinations of Kirkwood-based devices (Sheevaplug and QNAP TS-[12]19) and devices carrying the root filesystem. They are available together with my build scripts at http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/
Changes: - kernel config now sets CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR=4096 (adviced by Eric Paris) - the ramdisk is now generated with dracut instead of mkinitrd
Using dracut for preparing the ramdisk has many advantages: - one ramdisk works on a whole platform, but creating host-specific ramdisks is still possible - allows to explicitly specify block device drivers and filesystems that are included, that sets the array of allowed block device and filesystem type combinations for the root filesystem - allows to enable features like RAID and crypto for root - root filesystem device is set on the kernel command line only, it's not hardcoded anywhere, but the drawback is it needs to be set in the uboot environment via console - no hand-coded hacks are needed

Hello everyone,
this time I have only a little update. I was notified that the Fedora/ARM kernel I provide doesn't include conntrack-related netfilter modules. And because it was really an omission, I have built an updated kernel and modules. I have also enabled drivers for IrDA and Bluetooth USB devices. Download as always from http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/kirkwood

Hello everyone,
this is an update to the recently published 2.6.32 kernel. No major changes were done in the packaging, but upstream brings support for the Marvell OpenRD platform and I have enabled few additional drivers. Download from http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/kirkwood/2.6.32 , the 2.6.31.x series is now available under http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/kirkwood/2.6.31
