Guest smokku Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I am working on getting 2.6.35 kernel running on Streak. The port is available on gitorious - http://gitorious.org/streak/kernel It progresses fine and most of the hardware drivers are ported. But I have an issue with non functioning initrd which causes kernel to panic right at the boot end while kicking /sbin.init I've been running in circles on it for two days and would gladly use some help of more experienced kernel developer. If you have any idea how to fix it, or how to debug the problem - please contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest okokokokok Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ubuntu would be real nice. I dont like that VNC -- Ubuntu Idea, i want a full ubuntu. @ popetodd, this thread you are talking about, is this with VNC ? I want sound and as far as i know there is no sound via VNC.

Guest popetodd Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 It is, and I musunderstood. smokku looks to be talking about running Linux as the main OS instead of Android. Hey smokku, you should look at the initrd on the installation from the link. It does start up as a chrooted environment and might offer some insight into what is missing from yours. If you don't want to install it let me know what you need from it and I'll pull it from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen Hyde Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 really no point in trying to get it the drivers for most things are not usable (the yaffs nand flash drivers are totalyl borked also ) your better off using dells provided 2.6.32 source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hothan Dao Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 http://gitorious.org/meego-streak/kernel You stopped porting Meego to DS, didnt you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smokku Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 You stopped porting Meego to DS, didnt you? Basically lack of opensource support for Qualcomm processors stopped me. But yes - I am no longer working on MeeGo for Dell Streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spences10 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Basically lack of opensource support for Qualcomm processors stopped me.

Guest Hothan Dao Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 In my IMHO, DS and HTC HD2 have the same Snapdragon CPU. Actually, HD2 has ability to install Ubuntu on it. What's happening with DS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popetodd Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) This is different, smokku was working on replacing the Android rom with Linux outright and not just running Linux in a chroot.
