Re: [PATCH] 2.6.5-mm6 for simpad

I realized that too. We have got too many non specific simpad files in it.
As I have read in the list,  the kernel 2.6.4 should work  without any 
ARM patches.

My suggestion on this is that we start making a simpad-only specific patch.
We haven't got so many files to patch


Does anyone use a new toolchain like gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.3???
