Hi, I know, this is mailing list for openzaurus distro, but since the only distro that was built for collie with kernel 2.6 is Angstrom, this is what I am going to check. Yesterday, Marcin Juszkiewicz posted about Angstrom images for collie with 2.6 kernel, done by Koen Kooi: http://blog.haerwu.biz/2007/04/17/collie-and-sdmmc-support-under-26-kernel/ My first question is, why modules (file modules-2.6.20.6-collie.tgz<http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/collie/20070417/modules-2.6.20.6-collie.tgz>) were supplied separately, and not as part of rootfs image? The image has 6+ MB of free space, more than enough to host all the modules. If the goal was to avoid rootfs bloat with unnecessary modules, then the rootfs should at least include following critical modules: 2.6.20.6/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko // To mount the CF cards 2.6.20.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap.ko // For the WiFi 2.6.20.6/kernel/drivers/spi/locomo_spi.ko // For the SD 2.6.20.6/kernel/drivers/mmc/mmc_block.ko Could be there are other modules that must be on rootfs. -- Arieh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
