Kernel Release 2.6.31.12.2-ER1

Kernel release for March 30th.

Changelog snippet:

  • Updated to Freescale BSP 10.02.00 snapshot
  • Patches from Arnaud Patard at Mandriva
    • Divide by zero on booting without a monitor cable, fixed
    • rt2800usb driver updated to work - sometimes disconnects, not perfect
    • remember you need rt2870.bin to get the mainline wireless driver to work
    • switch from mxc_i2c to imx-i2c driver, more stable, ACK error gone
    • miscellaneous display driver fixes
  • Increased kernel log buffer shift from 14 to 16 so dmesg contains the whole log now (note: this is in the config file)
  • Added Freescale's SST25VF MTD driver, although it is not detecting properly yet
  • Replaced kernel ASIX USB ethernet driver with ASIX website version (2.5.0)
You can find the latest tarballs and so on at the PowerDeveloper EfikaMX Kernel page. 3D driver compiled for this kernel coming shortly. Apologise for the clumsy "big tarball" release, a version with more complete patches will probably come after the next Freescale BSP snapshot.
