So cjb tackled an initial rebase of our patches to the 3.0, skipping<br>
the RPM spec/build bits. Now I've reviewed his rebase -- really hard<br>
to tell as several patches have been squashed together, so I it<br>
sorta-kinda-makes sense, but it'd need a replay of the whole exercise<br>
to tell.<br>
<br>
I have also re-imported the rpm and makefile bits, so `make ARCH=arm<br>
xo_1_75-kernel-rpm` works.<br>
<br>
The resulting kernel builds, boots, reboots, drives the camera, audio<br>
output, reads accelerometer, battery, keyboard, tp, runs runin, and<br>
generally seems to make sense.<br>
<br>
I didn't try any of the new Linux 3.0 features -- Kinect support anyone? :-)<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>I know in Fedora 16 there were a number of tools that didn't play well with the 3.0 (likely not a complete problem as I think the final release was in fact 3.0.0) and the > 2.6 numbering schemes. I don't remember which ones, I seem to remember mdadm (obv not a problem) but don't remember what else but be aware if things randomly break which previously worked that it could be due to verrsioning of the kernel.<br>
