[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Compiling own kernels and using the wlan module

Hi, 

the inifinite loop is caused by the kernel and initfs not matching each other. We are working on making the kernel re-buildable flashable for Maemo 1.1 final release.

Regards,

Hello,

I'm also trying to build a working IPv6 kernel for F5 hw, but I get
stuck in a boot loop. This is what appears in the serial console:

> Unable to open frame buffer device /dev/fb0
> Unable to initialize. Exiting
> Unable to open frame buffer device /dev/fb0
> Unable to initialize. Exiting

etc. Then later,

> Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq. 
> open(/dev/fb0): No such file or directory
> Starting system message bus: dbus-1.
> Error opening /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
> 
> Fatal server error:
> no screens found
> DSME: process '/usr/bin/Xomap           -mouse /dev/input/event0          -dpi dwith return value: 1
> DSME: '/usr/bin/Xomap           -mouse /dev/input/event0          -dpi 96 ' exid with RESET policy -> reset

After this it reboots, and so on ad infinitum.

Everything I've added to the kernel gets built in, so I shouldn't have
to worry about initrd, right? All I did after building the kernel was
flash the new zImage into the device. If I put back the zImage from an
official FIASCO image the reboot behavior goes away.

Any and all pointers appreciated.
